[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1445557, member: 110816"] In Mac Mail, as you get e-mail anything that is spam or junk should be marked as such so that it'll start learning and start filtering those messages for you automatically. Since you didn't download/install anything, your Mac should be safe.. Books can be written about the way the spammer/hackers get access to e-mail addresses, believe it not it's quiet a lucrative business to keep track of working e-mail addresses to share..that being the case, a prolific spammer network can send many thousands of messages every minute and they're bound to catch something with the net spread out so wide. You'll also find that the spam comes in spurts such that you might get a similar look spam once every minute for a couple of days before it stops and a new type starts. [/QUOTE]
