Strange email problem - could it be a trojan/keylogger...

Hi

I noticed this problem a few months back, but just put it down to coincidence.

I get around 300 spam emails a day. I do have a spam filter, but as I am self employed I still check through my spam just to check there are no customer emails in the mix.

Now what I have noticed is I am receiving a couple of spam emails a day with subject lines very similar to emails I have sent. I initially put this down to chance, but recently I have sent a couple of emails with uncommon subjects, and then later that day I have received spam with similar subjects.

For example: I sent an email with the word Manhattan in the subject, and then shortly after I received spam with Manhattan in the subject. This has also happened with - Workrave, Vendetta (as in V for), K9, CSS, and also various names. It is only one or two emails a day, not a deluge or anything.

My security set up is: Antivir Personal Premium, BitDefender 8 (for manual scans) Commodo firewall, and CyberHawk. I did download Spyware Doctor and I used if for a couple of days, but it found nothing.

Could this be a trojan or a keylogger? Or do you have any other ideas? Any recommendations on anti-trojan software etc, or things to try, will be greatly received!

I thought I was pretty well protected, but there is clearly something fishy going on...
