I did a virus scan and much to my surprise this warning showed up.

That's actually someone infected with that paricular virus. it's spoofing the return address, so mr. millichap there probably isn't actually the person infected, but he is in the address book of whoever is. I'll run a trace and see if I can notify the person who is actually infected. Failing that I'll jsut call the ISP and have them give the person a call.
