Question possible virus?

I am puzzeled!

Starting a few days ago, I received various emails from friends and individuals unknown to me. Some email were titled "A special good tool" or "A excite game" or "Worm Klez.E Immunity" Most of those email are about 130k to 150k in size, with no attachments and carry one of the following messages:

Klez.E is the most common world-wide spreading worm.It's very dangerous by corrupting your files.
Because of its very smart stealth and anti-anti-virus technic,most common AV software can't detect or clean it.
We developed this free immunity tool to defeat the malicious virus.
You only need to run this tool once,and then Klez will never come into your PC.
NOTE: Because this tool acts as a fake Klez to fool the real worm,some AV monitor maybe cry when you run it.
If so,Ignore the warning,and select 'continue'.
If you have any question,please mail to me.
or

This is a special excite game
This game is my first work.
You're the first player.
I hope you would enjoy it.
Then, TODAY, I received an email from myself (my hotmail account) with the subject "Worm Klez.E ..."!!!

Has this occured to other ppruners, too? I am running (unfortunately) McAfee virus-scan. The database is up-to-date, according to the program.
