No one is using your email -- someone else is infected and you are in their email address book -- and it is **pretending** to come from you -- not enough of a techie to explain how this is done. All I do know is don't worry about it and just delete the emails. Just write the person (they must be a newbie) if they keep insisting it's coming from you and tell them (nicely) they are wrong and direct them to the sites which explain how email addresses are spoofed (I think that's the correct term). Judith I was sent an email saying I sent the new virus to someone that they got it from my address. It was from some bank.com or something place..some address I never sent anything to.christy and I had scanned and found no viruses..
