Hi guys,
There is a worm making the rounds called W32.Sobig.F@mm.
It's a little unusual, in that if you think you are infected, then
you're probably not.
On infected machines, the worm finds email addresses, and sends an
email to each saying that the person sent an email, but that it was
blocked because it contained a virus (often Sobig itself). These are
disguised to look like genuine alerts from McAfee, Antivirus and the
such. I have received loads of these. However, I have scanned my PC to be
sure, and am clean.
More information on the worm can be found at the Symantec site:

They also provide a tool to scan your PC for free:
