nah, I doubt you have a virus. Probably the guy who said you have a virus has the virus and it's sending mail out as you. PC viruses can take email addresses in the address book and spoof their address as the sent address.

They're emails sent from random infected computers on the internet spoofing your @mac.com email address. When delivery fails, it returns it to the 'sender', or who it thinks the sender is, you.
