Many viruses spoof the sender fild. The infected e-mail could very well have been sent from an infected computor that has your e-mail adress on it.

If you ran a scan and came up clean, you probably are alright. To be sure, you could run an online scan, such as the one here http://ts.mcafeehelp.com/?siteID=1&resolution=800x600

or search the forums, there are links to other good online scans.

Welcome to the forum.

SomeFool is actually NetSky worm. A very ITW worm, thats covered by ALL AV vendors. You probably got just blank email with warning replay to spoofed address...
