Actually, Kenneth, that is probably not the case.  The origin of this email
is:

from kvendler (AC87A01C.ipt.aol.com [172.135.160.28])
 by smtp-dtc06.proxy.aol.com (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id

which, as you can see, is an address in AOL.  Furthermore, you are using
Microsoft Outlook Express version 6:
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2720.3000

However, the origin of the virus infected email is:

Received: from pool0595.cvx28-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net ([209.179.130.85]
 helo=higherwinds.net)

which, as you can see, is an address in Earthlink, and this email has no
sending email client (which is unusual for "normal" email.

This virus, like most "modern" viruses, forges the sender to make it appear
that it came from you when in fact it came from someone else entirely.

I doubt that if you check your computer you will find any viruses.  Someone
else is infected and sending emails that purport to come from you.
