I keep getting the same email from two individuals I am communicating with at the moment but the same email keeps coming over and over. Is this some type of virus?

For every problem there is a solution, for every solution there is a tech behind it.
 
Make sure your AV program is up to date and run a full system scan. That will answer your question about a virus.

It sounds more like the sender hits the send button more than once.
 
I first I thought the stuck key was to blame but I have spoken with the person over the phone since and I am also getting emails I received earlier today and last week and have deleted since. I have rebooted my system and now I getting ready to run vscan.

It sounds like your mail server may be having some problems.
 
I am getting an error message from the server. Just that it is crazy the way this thing is going. I just ran vscan and it turned out clean. Also deleted an additional 70 mssgs that have come in and just now I got some more in. What a drag!

I would suggest you contact your ISP and explain the problem. I do think its in the server.
