There are no viruses in the wild which can infect your Mac. Some malware, yes. But as long as you keep your system up to date from Apple and stay away from nasty sites, you have nothing to worry about.

Appreciate the info chscag... I'm a fairly clean surfer lol... Speaking of malware. If I were infected with some sort of malware I'm thinking this would allow someone into my mac? Should I consider a free program that would search out any? If so do you have any recommendations?

No one can get into your Mac unless you let them, malware or no malware. Use strong passwords, keep all sharing turned off, and just use good common sense.
