I received that email, not the same as yours though and I understood it and tried it and it actually works, open address book , click new contact put in something like virus detect as the name, don't put an email address in, then you will be asked this contact does not have an email address do you want to add it, click yes, then try and send a message to this and it won't go, if this happens for no reason as under normal circumstances you won't use this address then you know you have a virus on your computer and at least it hasn't been sent to everyone in your address book, the sad thing is it means you have a virus and you will have to get rid of it.

Hope you understand these instructions, the email you had received made it sound all complicated.
