It's not spam, it is a legitimate reply to a message that someone was going to recieve that apparently came from you.

However you never sent the message, and likely you never have even had the virus.

The virus uses an inbuilt SMTP engine to mail itself from infected PC's by using the infected machines address book. It not only mails itself to those addresses it finds but it masks itself as being sent from one of them.

So basically I'm saying ignore it.

Absolutley right. I've been getting loads lately.

Just delete them. Dont worry about them.

Memphis is right so don't get confused on what I am about to say...........
