I previously posted about invalid Mailer Daemon messages. Now I'm getting the same sorts of emails accept in some European language and many many more at a time. Only about half will have attachments, none of which appear to be like that of Netsky. I again ran all my antivirus scanning software and nothing was detected. So, hopefully I'm still not infected. But is this some new worm perhaps and has anyone else heard of or received similar foreign messages?
 
If you are getting the emails they are from another infected machine. Mass mailing malware do not usually send the messages to the infected user because it would draw attention to itself. Though it could if you have your own email address in your address book.

sounds more like someone with your email address is infected with this.
