Generally not. Once a computer has a virus, it is considered compromised, like a zombie. If you can determine the exact virus, and confirm that it doesn't spread through email or send files to the creator, it would probably be safe. Unless you know the exact virus, it could potentially send the creator your emails, your email password, sent itself to your contacts, and many other bad things. If you know there is a virus, you might as well install free antivirus (Immunet on Windows, ClamAV on Mac/Linux) and remove it.
