Emails always sent to the same persons, after receiving a virus

Hi,

I will explain my problem which seems to be very curious.

When I receive an email with a virus, McAfee detects it and puts it in
the 'Quarantine' folder of Outlook XP. However, Outlook tries to send an
email as below (from the sent-box folder) indicating I had a virus :

Object : Virus Alert

Attachment file : your_file.zlo
Virus name: W32/Netsky.d@MM
Action taken : Unable to Clean...

Attachment file : your_file.zlo
Virus name: W32/Netsky.d@MM
Secondary Action taken : Moved...

But, I would like to know why Outlook sends each time such an email to
the same 2 persons (whatever the email, without links with these 2
persons) which I don't know, which are not in my adress book of Outlook
and from which I never received email (I do believe).

For the moment, my smtp is not configured, but I would like to resolve
this problem (the fact that I always send an email to these 2 persons)
before doing it.

Thank you for your help.

Vince
