I'd be careful here. One of the scams of the virus writers is to send out email whcih appears to be from a virus software comapny. Cnahces are, especially if the email had an attachement or linky, clicking on it could activate the virus payload of the email.

Trust your instincts, If you are not expecting an email from somewhere, then there is most likely something fishy about it. Most certainly never click on or open an unexpected attachement / link until you are sure about it.

Rely on your antiviruis software you already have, and ensure it is always currently patched.
