worm/trojan is nothing to worry about, if you set it up right and are aware.
one of window's (many) usability issues is the endless cryptic dialogs that most people don't bother to read after the first month they use a computer. they just click ok.
OS X has very few of these during normal use. One happens when you download a file, if it contains an application. if you're expecting to see a picture of paris hilton, and you are asked about an application, don't download and install it. it ain't her.
turn off 'open safe files after downloading' in safari prefs (i think)
make another user account for non-geeks, without admin priveleges.
security updates are quick and painless. Apple is really good about getting them out in a timely manner. install them.
virus software? if you buy it, you may be funding the writing of more viruses. don't encourage them.
