Hehehe.....on Saturday and Sunday, I was at home and my office computer is shutdown, but there is a notification today from other mail server, that my computer send viruses on Saturday, june 5th 2004.

Received: from unknown (HELO mail01.sg.schneider-electric.com) <snip rest of virus complaint>
It's difficult to say with certainty exactly what happened here, but there is one scenario that I can easily see as likely here: Some virus was sent by someone to schneider-electric, with a forged sender address, to make it look like you. This is very very common with viruses. And most virus scanners are brain dead. They believe the from-address 100%. This would mean that the virus most likely came from someone who has your address in his/her address book, whose machine is infected In any event, the virus it complained about was an .exe. A windows virus. Why did you ever doubt it. Trust me on this one, if there ever is a linux virus as severe as you described, Microsoft will take out full page, front page ads in every major newspaper in the world. You will *not* be able to miss it So far it hasn't happened. Odds are it never will
