I saw you already received a reply, but this is the official one 
We have no viruses. Our server is behind a firewall, we never open e-mails on the server, we regularly apply the security patches, and there is an antivirus continuosly up and running.
The only way to be surer than this, is keeping shut off our server
The last generation viruses send their e-mails using as "sender address" one random address taken from a list. This list is locally created on the infected computer, taking email addresses from local messages, and saved document files.
We send a lot of mail, so there is a lot of computer that have our email address locally saved.
If one of this computer has a virus, it can send virus away, using our address as a fake sender address.
If you receive one of this messages, you can only be sure that the sender knows your and our email address, but your email address can be known because you write (using your real email address) in a newsgroup, or in a discussion group subscribed even by the infected computer owner.
Said that, even if you receive a mail from our email address, you can not be sure that this email was really sended by us (and if it contains a wirus, it wasn't from us for sure ).
