I'm trying hard to think of any major email provider that can't be 
accessed in Linux, and I frankly cannot.  I also can't think of a major 
protocol for transferring mail that doesn't have a linux client.  If 
you're getting warnings that your email has an infected file by a virus 
scanner, you should not open that piece of mail or download any 
attachments identified as having a virus, trojan or other piece of 
malware unless said viral detection software is so worthless that it 
should not be used.  I'ld suggest not using windows software if you 
can't deal with the windows malware and instead use linux to access your 
email.
