If the user runs the executable, the worm sends infected emails to addresses found in the .dbx, .htm, .html, .eml and .txt files. W32/SoBig.B, which is a variant of SoBig.A, will also use its own SMTP routines for propagation and spreads through network shares by copying itself to the following locations on computers with network shares enabled:

The e-mail addresses could be spoofed.

He may have had the virus on his machine and it sent itself

Do not ever click on a PIF file you receive from anyone, unless you requested it and know what it's going to do. A PIF (which stand for Program Information File) is almost the same as an EXE - when you click it, it runs a program. The difference is that the program is a non-Windows application, and the PIF tells Windows how to run it.
