That is the virus if I remember correctly. That is the virus that was causing all the unwanted emails a month back that everyone was getting. Once it infects your computer it disables your virus scan. Then it emails everyone in your address book and picks a name that is in your address book as the sender. So it looks like it is a legit email. It has different subject headers also. Here they are.

For example:

Subject: A very funny website
or Subject: Undeliverable mail--
or Subject: Returned mail--
or Subject: A WinXP patch
or Subject: A IE 6.0 patch
or Subject: W32.Elkern removal tools
or Subject: W32.Klez.E removal tools

So just because you received it from someone you trust doesn't mean that their computer is the one that is infected. It could be someone with both of your emails addresses in their address book. Hope this helps.
