Careful.
This could be a virus spoofing your email address.
Most new viruses can spoof both Sender and Recipient. Hence the confusion.

Upgrade your AV now and scan your machine just in case!

Ignore it. We get loads of those all the time from badly configured AVs. If you check the supposed sending IP address you will often find that you were in Australia when you supposedly sent the virus
