This occurance happens very often, and there is nothing you can do, other than sit down at weather the storm of compalints, until the user desinfects his/her computer.

Whatever ISP receceives a complaint will immediately notice the fake headers using your email address. SO do not worry.
What he said. I even had this problem with a work e-mail addy. One of our customers got the virus and it was sending e-mails in our companies name.
