Those can be one of 4 things:
1) Some spammer is sending the original messages and using your e-mail address as the
sender.
2) Someone else has a PC infected with a virus and the virus is sending itself as the
original message and using your e-mail address as the sender.
3) The message is the virus itself, pretending to be a returned mail.
4) Your PC is infected with a virus and it has been sending itself. And this is really a
returned mail that your PC sent.
In cases 1, 2, and 3 above, the messages are not coming from your PC and are not going
through your e-mail account. There's nothing you can do to prevent anyone from sending an
e-mail with your e-mail address as the From header, just as you can't prevent anyone from
sending a postal mail and putting your name and address as the return address. In the
case of Hotmail, you may be able to adjust the Hotmail Junk Mail filtering to reduce the
number of messages that you see.

I get a bunch of those messages every day. My ISP's spam filters catch most of them.
