Did you actually send the infected messages?  I would not think that 
you have the virus.  More than likely an infected PC owning friend has 
your e-mail address in his contacts and the virus is making you appear 
as the source.   " W32/Netsky.d.eml!exe" virus does just that, the 
reasoning is that the infected PC's owner remains blissfully ignorant 
and does nothing about the virus.
