Most probably is infected the computer of user, who has sent mail to you and that user sometime in history (or has both mails in address book). Or less probably - your address was used to send spam.

Both - viruses and spamers try to hide where is its source, so they sends mails as different user.
To get rid of this mails will be a little bit difficult. If you have access to original mail (infected with virus) or receivers server SMTP log you could find the server from where mail comes from...

99,9% the cause is not on your computer.
