I thought it was a virus at first. But I forgot you and your father share
one account. You may want to look into getting a different email account for
yourself, there are several providers that give you free mail that is
accessible over the web or via a mail program like Outlook express (not
saying it's the best choice, it just happens to be one that I know of that

If your father doesn't understand why sending spam to everyone in his
address book is a bad idea, he may want to do a bit more research. Although
it's farfetched, some ISPs have turned off people's accounts if they do it
repeatedly...
Hope that helps.
