As quoted at the Apple Mac OS X Boot Camp Beta website,
"Word to the Wise. Windows running on a Mac is like Windows running on a PC. That means it’ll be subject to the same attacks that plague the Windows world. So be sure to keep it updated with the latest Microsoft Windows security fixes."

I have heard that Apple said that if you run Windows you could be subjected to the same Viruses as PCs due to the inherent problems with Windows and Windows based products.
