Are you certain that the messages came from them? Almost all of the
email viruses scan the victim's PC for email addresses, and then send
you messages spoofing those as the FROM addresses. So it's more
likely that an infected person has Tim & Nixon's email addresses on
their computers than it is that they have a virus themselves.
