It says it was sent by my account though; was it not sent by my account then? Just a little bit confused about whether it was my computer that sent that email...

hi Deathwing - no, not sent by your account - it was spoofed. just means that someone used your email address as the reply to: address - more likely than not it was random.

 

run LiveUpdate, do a full system scan - always good to check when in doubt.
