[AT] Way OT Computer Virus question

[charlie hill]

About a month ago I picked up a virus.  I know when it happened.
I hit a web site with a bunch of pop ups.  In the process of clearing them a 
warning poped up on my screen warning me not to open a file.  Unfortunately 
I made an errant click (my fingers got ahead of my brain) and I opened the 
virus file.  IMMEDIATELY I started to work clearing it.  After about 4 hours 
I thought I had it.  Then the next day it was back.  I went to work on it 
again and got it cleared.
Since then I've run frequent checks with AVG free edition which was running 
when I got the virus and with other online virus checkers.  My AVG is on 
auto-update.  I also run Zone Alarm Pro firewall.  Somehow Zone Alarm got 
corrupted.  I deleted it and downloaded a newer version.  Zone Alarm and AVG 
say my system is clean.  One online virus checker found the virus again but 
showed in a quaranteen file.  My system at this point is running fine BUT  I 
keep getting messages like the one below in my e-mail.
Some of them come from a site that claims to be my ISP.  Some of them come 
from servers all over the world.  I was getting several of these messages a 
day.  Then they went away.  Now this week I'm getting them again but in 
lower numbers.

See the message below.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Charlie
