Ignore files less than 2,000 KB (2 MB) as most are either spam or virus spam. Don't get confused between KB & MB. Start using your Junk filter. It's a dynamic learning filter. For viruses it does take a lot of persistence but it will start to filter them out. WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on link) Clicking the top of the size column will arrange search results by size. Double-clicking this will arrange them with the largest at the top.
