Who sent the mail?

I didn't find any viruses by that name at www.datafellows.com (http://www.datafellows.com) but there was a virus called Wscript.KakWorm. It was the closest.
The page displayed the following info:

F-Secure Virus Information Pages


NAME:
Kak
ALIAS:
Wscript.KakWorm, KakWorm


WScript.KakWorm is a worm that attaches itself to every
email sent from the infected system. It is written with JavaScript and it works on both
English and French versions of Windows 95/98 if Outlook Express 5 is installed.

The worm uses a known security vulnerability in Outlook Express. When an user
receives an infected email message, the worm creates a file "kak.hta" to the Windows
Startup directory.

When the system is restarted, the worm activates. It replaces "c:\autoexec.bat" with a
batch file that deletes the worm from the Startup directory. The original "autoexec.bat" is
copied to "C:\AE.KAK".

It also modifies the message signature settings of Outlook Express 5.0 replacing the
current signature with an infected file, "C:\Windows\kak.htm".

Therefore every message sent with Outlook Express after that will contain the worm.

Next it modifies the Windows registry in a such way that it will be executed in every
system startup. In first day of each month if the number of hours is more than 17
(5:00pm), the worm will show an alert box with the following text:
