Jerry 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.
