I'm planning to install W8.1 via USB. I know that in order to install it through a USB you have to put the correct installation files into the drive with a separate computer. The problem is that I suspect that my laptop might have some viruses and I don't know if the viruses will infect the USB and transfer to my new computer.

You can use the USB device as bootable media and flatten the existing hard drive. This would prevent the hard drive from even being read prior to formatting and prevent what you are worried about.
