Okay I have this weird email virus. One of my friends one day 'sent' me an email with no subject that had a link to a website that's a health pill shop. I quickly x-ed out of that email and the email kept getting sent to me and other people like once a week.
About a month later, I got e-mail replies from people who I have emailed in the past. They were saying 'what the heck is this?' and 'why are you sending this to me?' And they told me I had sent them a weird link about a health pill shop several times. It sends these things to my friends, cousins, family members, and random people!
How do I get rid of the virus, and what is this email virus called?

FACTS: This is happening to my Gmail account (Mail for Google). And I use Mozilla Firefox.


PLEASE HELP!!

1st,never open an email without no subject,if you look it has your friends name,but not their email(where it says who sent it). The only way I got rid of mine,went to another free site,opened a new email address and deleted all the names from my old one. This can be a pain,but that spam will keep being sent out until all the names are erased.
