My email (Hotmail) is sending virii ("viruses") on my behalf!

Everyday, for the past couple weeks, I've been getting returned mail
(from email admins) saying I was sending someone on their domain (not
people in my contact list) the W32.Sobig.F@mm virus. I am running
Windows XP Pro(non-pirated).

Before you jump the gun and call me retarded, let me explain...

1. I have not opened any email attachments
2. I am running Norton Internet Security and Norton AntiVirus, with
latest virus definitions. I scan for virii everynight. (did not find
the any virii)
3. I've downloaded all updates/security patches..etc
4. I visited http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ and downloaded the
removal tool for the W32.Sobig.F@mm worm. (did not find the any virii)
5. I do not use Outlook express, although I did try to about a month
ago. I did setup hotmail as a mail profile in windows. I just
recently deleted that along with all stored passwords and .NET
passwords.

I'm baffled. I've done all that I could and still I am receiving
returned emails saying I'm sending out this virus. What the hell is
going on?
