Sounds like a virus to me, but I have not seen it yet. Someone will know the specific one soon.

Do not open the emails. Delete them.

Someone else is infected with it. The infected pc has your address in the address book and it keeps sending you the email.

It is possible your isp deleted the actual infected file. Mine has done this on others many times.
