You got hit with a virus. It was spoofing the return address -
apparently someone else that was infected had your address and the
parachute people both in their address book.

Find a local shop, have them boot with a clean disk and find what
you're infected with.

As bad as it is, you're lucky that you got a virus that gave you an
immediate indication that something was seriously wrong. The worst
ones quietly destroy all your data in the background without you
knowing.
