So I guess I count myself as new and a switcher (even though I've had my Mac for a few months I haven't tried to flood it with freeware and junk as it does most of what I want).
My question is can I stop the Mail programme (I'm using Lion) from downloading junk from my ymail and gmail accounts. I do have a virus checker (the free Sophos one) as there are Windows machines at home and at the office and as I've been burnt in the past I'm cautious. This has picked up fairly frequently trojans downloaded as part of of spammy messages (the fedex type etc). I don't think I've ever had these downloaded before and am fairly sure they come from the spam folders of the online mail services which are pretty consistant at filtering them out. What can I do to prevent their download other than stop using the mail programme?
Thanks
