Spurious Virus returned e-mails

Am receiving several e-mails daily stating that an e-mail message I sent contained a virus. The returned e-mail contains an e-mail address that I do not recognise.
I do a regular virus check with NAV & scan regularly, so I know that these messages are false.
The ISP does not appear to be of any help. Any ideas?

It's just another trick to get people to open the infected emails. You caould create a message rule and have them go directly to the delete folder.

Actually it's probably more like this - someone else who happens to have you in their address book has the Klez virus.

Thanks for the replies. I suppose I'll just have to live with it, until the virus gets cleansed but it would be really good to know from whom they originate.
