I have received two messages just like that on my machine at work. In both cases not only were the e-mails sent to people I don't know, but both were sent during time windows (i.e. weekends) when my work laptop was powered off, disconnected from the network, and locked in a steel cabinet (we have some theft problems here).
What to do?
1) Update your virus protection and scan your machine.
2) Assuming the e-mails are being generated within someone's machine that you do correspond with, make sure your e-mail settings scan all incoming messages.
3) The IT experts who frequent this site will have more and better information. As an engineer I am a system user, not a system expert.
These viruses are fast becoming a major nuisance for all computer users.
