Multiples messages - spoofing perhaps?

[Mike]

Folks,
I have a user who is getting 28 messages everytime he hits send/receive on
Outlook 2003. I have verified that he is not getting 28 new messages, so I
guess it's internal to his PC. He has these messages set up to go directly
to junk mail, but I would like to find the cause and remove it permanently.
I have ran Adaware, Spybot, and MS Spyware Beta 1, with no luck. Below is
the details.txt. I googled parts of it with no luck. The message itself is
German text with a link, so I'm sure its some kind of spam. We have current
AV, and it's not picking anything up itself. Any advice? Thanks in advance
for your help!

it's probably spoofing. have you looked at the headers to see where they are
being generated?
