Ok, I just got this email saying that I had sent another email to another user. This is the supposed email I sent:
From: chipseh
To: andyjames**@hotmail.com
Subject: A humour game
MIME-Version: 1.0
(Deleted part of email addy for this guys privacy)
So, the next thing is, I don't know how this got sent to him, but it definately wasn't me. It also contained snoopy.exe, which I guess would be a virus.
So if you get an email from me, it wasn't me.
I'm scared now. Better go do a system check.

It was indeed a virus! A scan with Norton Anti Virus found snoopy.exe in the temporary internet files.
Glad that's sorted.

That's the thing, I never accepted/received/downloaded anything. I never even sent an email today, yet at 1:30 I supposedly sent snoopy.exe to this guy.
I never accept .exe's via msn messenger transfer or via emails - out of fear, pure fear.
Nope, nothing came with it.
The only possible explanation I can think of is this: The address I 'sent' this to is in the Web, PC etc forum in a topic by a guy called Cheeseman. It's the same email.
So, either someone was able to use that email account to send something to me or it was him sending 'snoopy.exe' to me.
Strange.

Viruses like that can't affect Webmail services, only Outlook Express and so on.
Have you opened anything?

Yup, it definately wasn't me.
My profile name is "Howard Lloyd" where the email said it is "Chipseh".
