You probably opened the Swen virus:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.swen.a@mm.removal.tool.html
The Email did NOT come from Microsoft.
Microsoft NEVER sends Email with attachments.

NEVER open a unexpected attachment.
Verify with sender before opening an attachment.
Delete the mail and the attachment immediately if not verifiable.
