Thanks for the input, I have spybot and adaware running.

I had a notification at work today about this latest round of attacks. It described the very sort of message I got about being responsible for sending a virus. It is a technique the virus writers use, whereby they spoof the address of the sender from the address book of someone infected with the virus! I was not aware that they do this sort of thing!

On closer inspection of the postmaster notification, it seems that I "sent" the infected e-mail, whilst at work and with the home pc switched off!
