Email address 'leak'? Any ideas?

Spent yesterday bringing Mrs B's new laptop on line and into home network. XP SP2 (painfully) updated. Downloaded and installed Skype and ITunes, both of which ask for email addresses. Following these installs I now see a flurry of bounced emails from that address. AVG and ZA running and AVG, Spybot and Adaware scans clean. Will run housecall and hijack this today. Laptop off overnight and more bounces this am on desktop.

More a note of caution than anything else, but I cannot see how else the email address was 'leaked' unless anyone has any ideas what else I missed?
