I really doubt that Scot knew that he sent the virus; once a machine
is infected, it starts sending the virus itself when the victim sends
mail.  See the following for information on this virus (technically,
it's really a worm, not a virus):

        http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/happy99.worm.html

It contains instructions about how to remove it from a system.  I
hope Scot follows it before he tries mailing someone again...
