Virus and Trogan in emails

Is it possible to somehow incorporate a virus/trojan checker into the software that is open source for Windows? I keep getting TONS of alerts from Mcafee that it caught viruses. Also wondering if this could be a addition to Thunderbird in a new release by incorporating something like CLAMAV into thunderbird software somehow?

Thunderbird has the tool, but it needs to be trained. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages I, also, get periodic McAfee messages, yet I don't use McAfee. And they go right to spam.

Sorry if I don't click on links. Can you tell me how to enable this please?

I am not sure what you mean. That is a link to a Mozilla support page. You can also get to the page by doing a web search for thunderbird junk controls.
