There's no way to stop that except to change your email address.
And if they have a virus infected attachment, then it wasn't a person that sent it. It was from someone who got infected by a virus, and the virus in turn mails itself out to every email address it can find stored in that persons computer. Some of the better written viruses can collect email addresses from the people before it and modify itself to include those addresses when it infects the next person.
If it's just spam, then yes, someone is sending it to you on purpose. People get paid to send out spam email.

Agreed switch your email address. Make it a cool name with lots of significance. Take some of mine for
[email protected] [email protected] [email protected].....thing is you send any mail to an address with osprex.com (anything goes here).com and it comes wizzing across the information highway hell-bent on finding me. Now that is a beautiful thing.
