Antigen is a program that filters out viruses from e-mails, and is run on an e-mail server (possibly your ISP).

Make sure you are running an up to date virus scanner.

Probably someone who has your email address in their address book has been infected and the virus spoofed your address from their address book.

That message probably means that it blocked their email containing a virus.

It sounds like email spoofing (maybe) or someone who has you in their email adress book WAS/IS infected and you're getting this notice then.

Hello Wawadave,
Only today two trojan's virus are known to steal emails addresses:
Badtrans B and BUGBEAR and familie's.
Try the program Trojan Remover 4.89 to check it. This program is a freeware for one month then a shareware to get unlimited virus update database....
you will know right away if you are infected or not. Particularity of this program is to be the only one able to detect, and restore a computer to get back to the original configuration as before, as well as to destroy the "worm", the little program hiden in your hard drive which allow the hacker to read and act into your computer everytime you are connected
