I'm not a computer person as many here already know...
(WebTV is more my speed.)

I'm finally making the transition to the computer (which I'm on right now) and I see much of the antivirus software that is installed is from years ago, and is Win95 stuff.
(I have Win98)

Only thing that leads me to think I may have a virus, is I've been getting weird emails that make no sense, and returned emails that I never sent.

What gives ???

No, the emails are being sent from my computer, but get returned "no such ..."

I'm also getting emails sent to my webtv addy from people I've emailed from my PC.
Those emails I sent included my webtv address in them for an alternate contact address.

The mail is usually words that don'r make a sentance, or there is a picture of a big speaker "wav" attachment.

Go here [url]http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_downl.htm?session=82fdc92694109f1847d0b80e84c5bf4d[/url] it's a like to the free AVG antivirus software.  Run a full system scan.  Then spend the cash and buy some antivirus software.  I prefer Norton Antivirus.
