The Virus protection software we have here in work is upto date and it
detected the virus at the same time as the computor told me I had the
e-mail that contained it.
The Return address was different from the Sender address.

On reading up on the virus it appears quite nasty in the way it works 
-searching your computor for e-mail addresses 
-randomisation of subjectline
-Random message text
-The attached file randomly named with one of the following extensions
.PIF, .SCR, .EXE, or .BAT
-The sender address chosen from a list within the virus itself
