Linda, this is probably the Klez virus. From the way it works, you probably never had it. It steals names from the address book of the person who has it, and sends an email as if it's from someone in that address book. That way, the person who actually has the virus has a hard time discovering they have it. It makes people who do not have it look as if they do.
