Just received 3 e-mails with viruses from surpass

I'm assuming that they are not from surpass administrators, but if they are not, I have a major security hole in my website, as the headers show the email originating from a surpass server. I receieved the following:

Contained an attachment "info-text.zip" containing a batch file..

I got two more sent with the same style.. When I first saw that a virus was attached, I expected to see something else in the headers, but it appears as if I sent it to myself, or someone got into my account and sent it to me. I understand that this probably wasn't the administration who sent this to me, but I am seeking better ways of protecting my site from and intruders, or any explanation as to how this may have occured!

Thanks!
