Mail server report.

Our firewall determined the e-mails containing worm copies are being sent from your
computer.

Nowadays it happens from many computers, because this is a new virus type (Network Worms).

Using the new bug in the Windows, these viruses infect the computer unnoticeably.
After the penetrating into the computer the virus harvests all the e-mail addresses
and sends the copies of itself to these e-mail
addresses

Please install updates for worm elimination and your computer restoring.

What is your webhost and what was their webhost email? It sounds like a hoax/spam email to me. It sounds like a teenager wrote it and spammed it out.
 
One thing to try out on your own is a few "bug hunters" like AVG, Avast, Antivir, and some other trojan removers to see if anything is found. If that is a genuine message automatically sent by the web host it detected something there. It certainly won't to be on the safe side there. If it turns out to be bogus you can always choose the block sender option.
 
Usually there would be a familiar emblem or other identifying mark if it was something from a service you are using. Lately a ton of "unknowns" has been arriving in Outlook Express where the block sender sees a lot of use. Besides the usual adbot removers a few online free scans have been tried out to look for something actually hidden on the drive to give out email addresses. But those are far more clever not to be noticed. That there stands out like a sore thumb unfortunately. Make sure to block sender.
 
Hi all
I am with IVChosting.
Here is their website

I received the same email twice and I actually replied by asking how to solve this problem but I didn't get a reply.

If it's really just some spam then I won't worry about it too much..
