I usually get lots of SPAM, but no viruses. As several Sam users already mentioned, I use a simple whitelist system to block 100% of SPAM, and allow only known addresses. But this can't currently block viruses. Unfortunatelly...
btw. You can find who sent you viruses. Although the sender e-mail address is faked, there is a valid IP address (can't be effectively faked), and with cooperation of its internet service provider, you can find the real computer.
