Your anti-virus program scans your e-mails, the best way to tell is to check the very bottom of the message. If it says "certified as virus free" by ______ anti-virus program then your pretty much ok. Personally, I tend to delete any e-mail now that sends attachments for me to download because you can hide a virus in the file very easily. If you want to download an attachment, save it to your desktop, find the file you just dl'd, left click on the file, and choose scan with _______ anti-virus. It will then scan the file and ensure it's safe to see. If not, don't open it, drag and drop it to your "Recycle Bin" and then right click on your "Recycle Bin" and choose to delete all files.
