I've been getting loads of attachments containing viruses sent to me over the last two weeks from various other yahoo accounts. The mail filter sends them straight to my Bulk folder, but is there anyway to eliminate receiving them at all?

Yahoo is the worst. Hotmail cleaned up its act dramatically - why can't Yahoo ?

I got this same message yesterday, but it wasn't from my Yahoo email. Instead, it came through my work email, but my AV caught it when it came in.
