Automatic opening of connections to websites

Using emClient 10.0.3530 (f0b89b7) …and application is allowing emails to open URLs to malware sites. I dont even select any of these junk emails in junk folder …just scroll and multiple malicious URLs are trying to be opened. Luckily
my anti-virus caught these connection attempts in the background. Why is emClient not blocking these hidden connections especially when not even selected in junk folder

edit: these url’s are going to *.info websites

You can control whether you allow external email content within each email via the “Menu / Settings (Preferences) / Mail / Privacy” settings via eg: Whitelisted senders, Contact list only etc, but if the senders have planted malware or viruses etc in your emails automatically launching stuff, then “that is only controlled by either your own installed Antimalware / Antivirus / Spyware program” or the “OS Security program if it includes one”.

eM Client doesn’t include an Antimalware or Antivirus program etc. If you have Windows 10 or 11 that has Windows Security / built-in which works fine for me if I ever get anything like that.
