Actually not, there is a really low chance to get a virus using linux; to avoid malicious packages, try to install software only from the software centre or PPAs that you trust.If you want to scan your files for windows viruses (in order to prevent your friends' PCs infection when exchanging files), you can use CLAMAV (which is the best natively-supported Linux antivirus)
