First you will have to determine which virus you have. There are many that do this.
If you are infected with the most recent one, W32.Sobig, then you can download the repair tool here http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oval.tool.html

If you are infected with another virus, then you'll need to determine which one and go here to look for the steps necessary to repair the computer.

i see what you're asking now.
The only way you could stop the emails from getting to your inbox is if alot of them have something in common such as the subject line or something in the message body.
If they do then you can set a mail filter to block or delete those messages automatically.

If you use Outlook Express just highlight the message and click "message" at the top of the window. Then click "create rule from message" and select the options you want.
I'm not familiar with other email programs to give directions on those.
If the emails are completely random with nothing in common you'll pretty much just have to ride it out until it dies down on it's own.

You could also set a filter to block all emails with attachments, but they may block some you want as well. It would be a short term option at least.
