 Possible solutions: the e-mail went to the another person because of 
some server fault. Or someone is on the PC-Helpers mailing lists without 
realising it. If you're using your local Posfix server, go to console, type:

 sudo -s
 <type your password>
 less /var/www/log/mail.log | grep <PC-Helpers-email-addres> | less
 Read it, and see where it go.

 Somehow I don't trust closed antivirus software. Your problem sounds 
like server misconfiguration, rather than virus.
