Could be a virus, could be Spam or Phishing. They somehow know that you and that other person have a tie to each other so another company may have had access to that and used that in order to send you e-mail message. Tell your friend to clean their system and on your end, clean your system since you did open the e-mail. Then see if it happens again. If it was a virus, it may not happen again but if it was spam or phishing, you may be able to report it and then block them. Still clean your system since you opened that e-mail.

Yes, she probably has a virus which is busy sending spam from her computer.
