I get spam emails from myself!! selling watches, etc.. I do not send these and do not spam. But because of this stuff going out I get labeled as a spammer and my “regular” mail is often rejected to my own friends and family in my address book!! IS there ANYTHING I can do to stop this spam mail coming from myself??!! Is this a virus or spyware in MY computer?

There is nothing you can do. Spammers will take a bunch of addresses and use one as the FROM and another as TO. The rest are put in the BCC field. This stops them from getting the rejected mail.
What we need is a new foolproof email system that can only contain the real addresses.

You have a malware on your computer that is sending these emails. Get a good anti-spyware program, such as
Spybot Search & Destroy
SUPERantispyware
AVG anti-spyware
a-squared Free
Download, install, UPDATE, run a full system scan, delete everything they find, restart your computer
