[marshallmadman]

Can someone explain how it would be possible to receive emails from MYSELF at Cyber Rights?

Speaking as somebody who works in IT and has extensive experience with email, I would be very surprised if you have a virus. What is far more likely is that somebody is just spamming you and setting the "From:" header to make it look like it's coming from you. In which case, the emails are completely harmless and can be ignored.

I have received those to other email accounts too. Its just annoying spam.

I get those all the time, spam email that appears to be from yourself, often the emal program will notify you that th email is "apparently from ____ .. and may be forged"
