How do I know if I have viruses / whatever

It seems that 'my computer' is send emails since, apparently, sent my items... to those who who do not have them.   How to stop this... or if I have a virus / whatever?  Also send emails to myself with nothing else than a "zip" attached file?

There is no virus affecting the os x in the wild. And it is unlikely that you have been hacked - it's much more likely that someone has taken over your email address and send spam using as the address "from"; It is a very common practice. It's how you receipt of the e-mails apparently yourself - spam with Zip files is still prevalent, but usually he pretends to be an invoice or other document. In fact, it is malware, but probably only affecting Windows - do not open it, of course.

It's infuriating when someone uses your address in this way, but there is not really anything you can do about it. Usually it stops after some spammers moving on to address some other victim.
