Yes. That is why they make and sell anti-virus software for MACs. MACs can get viruses just like a WIndows PC, it is just that since there are so few MACs compared to PCs, nobody has made creating MAC viruses a priority. But they do exist. And sooner or later somebody will write one and infected everybody on a MAC because the people think they can get along without a virus scanner.

Not really - most viruses are for Windows but you can install Clamshell AV- it's open source (free).
If you have a Mac running bootcamp and Windows, then yes - you should have an antivirus running as you would on any other Windows machine.

of course. You need to install something on any type of computer to protect you from viruses, especially if you use the internet a lot.
