Subject: Fw: You sent potentially unsafe content: Spam and VIRUS

I "sent as an attachment" an email I received, to Spamtrap3, which I knew was a fake "Security Center Announcement", puportably from Microsoft.  It had some active-x content, which my browser blocks, and my browser said "it might not display properly because I was blocking active-x".
 
I sent it because it was spam and I received it,  and if others received it they might be tempted to download the claimed patch, which would really be a virus.  However, I got back the below message from Vircom.  My question would be "Why I got the message from them but I didn't reject the original mail?" (with the same message)?
 
The original mail is a "Microsoft" looking message purporting to warn
 

MicroSoft News
Warning:
a new virus, [EMAIL PROTECTED], can infect your computer.

etc...
