Probably Nachi spoofing their address to send itself out. Delete the messages and leave it be. As a side note, have your friends that you receive these from scan their hard drives to be on the safe side. Oh yeah, make sure your own virus definitions are up-to-date on your machines.

Yeh, its not a new virus, but its a virus, espically if they send a password with it to open the zip. It was going around a month or so ago, forget what its called though.
