Viewing malware-infected file with Quick Look

If a malware-infected file is viewed with Quick Look, is that deemed any safer than opening it in, say, the file's default app?

(This is not asking whether viruses exist on Macs; this is assuming that the more general category of malware does in fact pose a threat.)

Thanks for any insights

Best way to handle this is download AdwareMedic and run the scan.

Then download and run in extensions Ghostery and AdBlockPlus.

Thanks for the pointers re adware.

On the more general issue of viewing a possibly malware-infected file, is there a way to do that that is purportedly more securely 'sandboxed' than Apple's Quick Look?
