So, do you want a fix for Sims 2, or a peice of hardware to put on your motherboard?

Well, I have a theory myself based on the Slashdot news that the game has virus' internal to itself that Wicked101 mentioned:

 

It's the game itself doing this on messageboard forums now, a variant of said aforementioned virus in the game itself!

So now you're going to start seeing spam coming from Sims 2 users when they are online and I suppose they have a built-in SMTP Relay Server too, open of course
