Your computer is infected with the W32.Sober.O@mm virus, it is a mass-mailing worm that sends itself as an email attachment to addresses gathered from the compromised computer. It uses its own SMTP engine to spread. The email may be in either English or German.

Download and run the Symantec removal tool for the W32.Sober.O@mm virus at the following link:

Hope that helps.
