Above.

Coming in on my main Gmail account and they don't always get picked up by the spam filters.

Thing is, the first and last time I tried McAfee AV it KILLED my PC so I have no plans to ever use it even though I'm now back on a LOCKED DOWN Windows PC thanks to my Brother.

 
I don't beee-lieve it!

you can mark "Send these to spam" on gmail somewhere, idk where

i just know you can mark them as spam and gmail will pretty cleverly start catching them

They are marked as spam by default, but the spam filters don't always work, please READ the OP.

Try setting wildcards in your filters to minimize it. Unfortunately spam is still an effective way to scam people so there will always be some spam that gets through.
