This worm can "Spoof" (pretend to be someone else) the From: and Send To: fields...

"From: Spoofed address (which means that the sender in the "From" field is most likely not the real sender). The spoofed addresses and the Send To addresses are both taken from the files found on the computer that is infected."

Your statement means you may not have the worm, but someone who knows you...does.
