Virus-laden emails apparently from me - bouncing

[OORAH!!!]

Perhaps someone out there has a virus-infected
computer that is pulling my name from his/her
address book, then using that as the sender of
sobigrams. Is that likely? What else explains
the many messages I see from various ISPs saying
that the email I sent was undeliverable because
it contained a virus...?

My machine is probably clean - according to
NAV/updated, Moosoft, and Trend Micro's free
online scan.

Very likely. In fact, I'd say about 100% likely.
