Okay, I got a Mac to get away Windows and associated problems and have no plans to run anything Windows. Just wanted to be sure it was okay for me to open attachments sent from a PC. Thanks Karen
To clarify that a bit more, No your Mac can not get a virus designed

your Mac information is just as vulnerable to damage caused by the
Windows virus while you are running Windows.
Windows can damage everything it touches.
