It is not you, but a fellow w-user that happened to have your email in his outlook address book (and other virus too).

theres no way a virus that exists in the hard drive with windows on it could have gotten into my linux drive is there?

No.

Well, there have been some experiments on trying to run some viruses in windows emulator(wine), but there haven't been very much success yet.
