Help needed with a VIRUS

I have a machine here that sends a reply to every email sent to it with an attachment of one random file in the computer. It also shows in the inbox that every email is from the same person that owns the machine. IE "you@surfside.net" owns a machine and receives email from people all over the world....all the messages would show that its from "you@surfside.net" and not the person that actually sent it. Does anyone know what this is and how do I get rid of it??? I would very much appreciate the help....thanks.
 
Go to pcpitstop and do an online virus scan. It will tell you what virus you have. Unfortunatly it will not get rid of it but for a lot of viruses you can go to nortons site and download an executable to get rid of your virus for free once you know what kind of cooties you have. Go to Norton and do a search for you virus once you know what it is called. Good luck.
