Thanks Carolyn I have received 14 of those messages from different senders and different subjects but same message. I have not opened any of the attachments as I was afraid it may contain some sort of virus. This must be really wide spread.

It is a virus that is very hard to get rid of. It will take a part of a message you have sent (so it will seem like it really came from you) and send messages out to your address book with your message as an attachment saying something like "I need your advice". I had the virus for about an hour, so it didn't do much damage.
