Alternatively, you machine may be infected and be sending out viruses withuot you or your anti-virus software being aware.
I would imagine it is probably the first scenario, and there is nothing you can do about it. Except perhaps steer clear of porno sites if you visit them as they are some of the prime culprits.

of course I haven't, my anti-virus is fine and my computer checks out OK.
So how do e-mail addresses get hi-jacked for this sort of nonsense? Can anyone point me at a suitable website to find out how?
Many thanks,

Dear Customer
An e-mail addressed to you was intercepted by our mail systems because it contained a known virus. We have deleted the e-mail and the virus so that it poses no threat to your computer.
The name of the virus was Worm/Netsky.D.Dam worm The address it appears to have been sent from is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
What do you need to do? The virus has been identified and deleted, therefore you don't need to do anything. If you know the person who the infected mail appears to have come from, you may wish to forward the details to them. However, this is entirely up to you.
Please note, that we do recommend that you always run up-to-date virus protection on your own computer. No system is 100% effective and although the protection we offer will remove a significant threat from viruses, it is vitally important that you protect your computer as well.
