Pesky virus

I've got a small problem.  Last week I received in my
non-espersunited.com email account an email from someone I don't know
with an .exe file as an attachment.  Naturally I assumed that this was a
virus, and wrote back to the email address it was from informing them
that they had a virus.  I've received several similar emails on through
the week, most were unique but all followed the same format:  One line
of text and then the attachment link, usually a .exe or a .zip file.  I
haven't opened any of them, but in the past couple of days I've begun
seeing them in my espersunited.com email accounts.  I wasn't too worried
about it until this morning, when I received a message from another SMTP
server saying that my mail was undeliverable to some person's email
account.  I looked at the message sent and it was indeed from me, but
the message body held the same one line and thesame EXE/ZIP file
attachment as the ones I'd received from multiple sources.  I use
evolution as my email client.  Could I be infected with this virus?  I
didn't think Linux was susceptible to virii - only hostile shell
scripts.  Is there a way I can test if I am infected, and if I am, is
there a way to find the virus so that I can destroy it?
