No need for you to be concerned, I think. It's just another windows virus
(on many other mailinglists too), it prooves that the windows version of
liquidwar is getting downloaded :)

It may not even be an address book entry... I've received a virus with
the README.txt of an old DOS-Game of mine attached (plus a .exe) and it
was addressed from my friend to me but none of us sent it (ip in the
headers!). The two email addresses were found in the README.txt close
together.

Probably it just scanned list emails lying around on the infected
machine.
