G'Day Megan,

I don't know about this specific virus, BUT:

In general these virus's have their own email
engine - they do NOT use Outlook (or OE).

If infected emails are being sent, then your
PC is Still Infected - You Need to 'disinfect'
your PC.

Until McAfee reports AND cleans the virus,
you're not going to get far.
