Here is NORTON's removal tool - they tell you to use this first.

You are getting the Postmaster's response because your domain, knows who you
are (even without your email address) because you are logged into their internet
address. They can send you bounce messages even though you are logging in
with someone else's computer, but using your own email settings in a program.
Without knowing your email address, the postmaster on the domain through
which you are sending mail, and send a message directly to the computer that
sent a message. (In other words YOU and YOUR computer!!!)
Example.. You come to my house, and set up Eudora Mail with your email
address at verizon.net - you configure your sending mail settings to my
capeonramp.net settings.
Because you are on an internet address from capeonramp, the Mail Exchanger at
capeonramp will take your email with a return address of verizon.net as a
courtisey.
But should one of those messages bounce, the Postmaster program, knowing the
Internet address of the sender (your computer) can send a message directly back
to your program. I've done this.
Short story - get the Norton Tool and run it. Then if it doesn't find the virus, follow
the detailed instructions.

Prevent this email (or stuff like it from going OUT) - get Zone Alarm.
