This generally means that someone that knows you or has you email address is
infected and is using your e-mail addy to spread spam/viruses.

It's not a security problem with your PC. It's that a spammer is
forging your email into the "From:" of his outgoing spams. This means
when those spams fail to be delivered (the spammer sends a gillion at
a time, and some will fail for various reasons), you'll get the bounce
messages. It sucks, and you're a victim of "backscatter"

I have developed a blog about this subject. Read more here:
