Default receiving delivery failure e-mails

How do I get rid of the malware? So far I've run AdAware, AVG, SpyBot,
Norton, Registry Mechanic, and nothing has been identified.

One of two possibilities:

1 - Your computer has been hijacked and is being used to send out spam; or

2 - Your e-mail address is being used by a spammer as the reply-to
address for their spam.

The solution to (1) is to remove the malware, and the solution to (2) is
to get a new email address. I wish I could be more optimistic.

Out of the blue I'm receiving e-mails that say there was a failure to deliver.
I am receiving about 10 per minute(!), thousands of e-mails saying delivery
failure, all with attachments. Examples are "From" mailer-daemon,
, maildelivery subsystem, etc. I have not sent these
messages, nor do I know of these people. Has there been an identifiable
virus or trojan? Can anyone help please?
