Actually you're probably not getting them from people
on this list and they probably don't have viruses.
Unfortunately, spammers these days commonly harvest
and
use fake email addresses to make it look like the spam
is coming from somebody other than a spammer.
I get dozens of these each day plus dozens of
automatic
emails saying that I've spammed somebody else.
Of course it's not possible to spam from or contract a
virus on a Yahoo or Hotmail account.
