It does occur to me that there may be a need for software to identify and remove such rubbish from any windows files received to prevent them being sent on to other windows machines in the future.
Is this a relevant or viable idea?

If this is a regular problem for you, you need to speak with whoever is
sending the tainted files.
Its not a problem I have known I have had, if that makes any sense. I just occured to me reading the OP. I don't have windows on my mac iBook and don't intend to but if I did I now know I need to protect it as the mac will not protect it itself, which I did wonder about.



Mac and all Unix-derived systems do indeed protect themselves by password protection of the root level. You must be careful about giving away your password and username, but so far none has been penetrated without the help of a gullible user.
