Sounds like some spammer is spoofing your email address; if so, there's
nothing you can do about it but get a new address..

Someone you know computer has become infected. The malware that has
infected their machine has harvested you email address trying to infect
other machines by sending more infected emails out, which are being returned
to your email address undelivered.


You can use something like Mailwasher (free but needs a tweak to make it
work on Vista) where you can filter/delete the emails at the ISP's POP3
server so that they won;t get downloaded to your machine where you have to
deal with them.
