Email I never sent bounces back with virus warning

[Z100]

I just got this email from a genuine company about an email I supposedly sent them....but I didn't send any. I've checked my outbox and there's definitely nothing there that was sent to them (I know the company but as far as I can remember I've never emailed anyone there). Anyone know what's up? Thanks.

Wouldnt worry about it - main thing is not to reply in any way to this type of e-mail.
I had a similar thing happen me.

It's also a good idea not top open actual or suspected spam emails at all (even in a preview pane) wherever possible.

Thanks for that. Was worried my email was banjaxed, hopefully it's just a problem at their end.
