I have received a couple of messages saying an email I have sent from one of

which they were sent mean nothing to me and what's more the times that they
were sent I was not online. In fact the machine was turned off as I was
elsewhere.
Someone who has your email address is infected with a virus, and it's extracted your address from their addressbook and is sending out mails with the return address set to you to try and hide where it's living.
Has someone hijacked the email address for spam or virus spreading and if so
what can I do about it?
sort of, yes. Possibly not much.
There may be enough information in the headers of the bounced email to find out where it's actually coming from, but I don't know how likely that is. Remind all your windows using friends/clients to make sure their virus checker is up to date/enabled?
