Sort of. It's just a general rule of thumb. Viruses tend to be very small, less than 1 mb. but not all small files are viruses. Pics and documents can be quite small also. Though if your just d/loading music files you shouldn't have to worry about it. Like I said I stick to mp3's for music and for video I stick with mpg and avi. I've never gotten a virus from LW. Stay away from any program files as they are loaded with viruses(zip, exe, rar, ect).

The junk filter needs to be trained. It's a dynamic learning filter & takes time to learn. If your getting too many good files being marked as junk, you may have to reset it and start over. You train it by marking files as junk as you run across them. Also good files that show up as junk can be marked as good. To reset the filter go to Tools>Options>Filters>Junk, click "Forget Training Data" and click apply. Then start over training the filter. To mark a file, just right click on it and go to "Mark as".
