This had a zip file attached called YUTLGMN.zip. This unzipped as a batch file. I did not open this file as I did not understand the meaning or purpose of the file name or format.

Could anyone explain this dodgy email, because for a while now the computer has been acting strangley on internet connected things. Could this be anything to do with this e-mail thing?

many thanx.

It seems that a worm sent you that mail: http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_MYDOOM.BE
So it's good thing that you didn't open that attachment.
If your computer acts strange, run a viruscheck: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp and verify your system for other malware too: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html
