Question about spam

[gizbug]

I am on a few yahoo group lists, and recently I have been getting flooded with spam mail, but the fake address are refering to lists I am on (ie. jim@toolyahoogroups.com)

My question is, did I have a trojan or something in my computer that let someone know what lists I am on, and now I am getting flooded by fake email address that refer to these lists?

If so, any way to find this person doing this?

spambots have been written to join groups / mailing lists / blogs and spam them.

your email address could also have just been harvested if you've ever posted in the group(s).
