Unfortunately yes, spam viruses do exist that will install themselves on
Winblows machines and use them to send spam. It has been discussed on
bugtraq. This is an excellent way to get past any spam blocks that a
company might have in place: dupe a user into infecting his machine with
the spam virus, and spam away from inside the firewall. Very ugly.
