Malware will not go onto your main computer. You will get notifications as you are sharing the same network as the virtual machine as it's using your IP settings that your host is using. As for spam, you wouldn't really get any unless you have entered your email address where it asks to stay updated with the latest news from the vendor. Have you ever played with malware before now? You can download the malware samples and it will not infect your host. I've never heard of this happening in the whole 8 years of playing wit virtualisation.
