The vast majority of them do not! From my personal experience of playing and modding since Alpha, I can tell you I have never got a virus from a minecraft mod! However, some people do trick you! If you ever come across a .zip file that is locked (i.e. requires a password) then it most likely is a scam to make them money or possibly even a virus!
If you browse the official forums, which I have listed in the related links below, for mods, then they have mods to check for this, and you should be safe downloading mods from that site!

However, the Minecraft community is in general a tightly knit community, and any potential threats such as this are most often wiped out before they can do anything.

Why did minecraft give me a black screen even though you only completely downloaded a texture pack?
There are a few reasons this could have happened. First of all, you need to make sure it is an SD texture back. (16x16) If it is any higher than this, you have an HD texture pack, and unless you patch your minecraft, there is no way you are going to use an HD texture pack. What you need to do is download a program called MC Patcher. I'll have the link on the bottom. You need to make sure you have a fresh minecraft.jar and bin. To do this you will have to delete your .minecraft folder and then run minecraft. If you want to save the levels you are working on go to/roaming/.minecraft/saves if you are on a PC. For mac it is Library/ApplicationSupport/minecraft/saves. Drag the saves onto your desktop or wherever before you delete the .minecraft and replace it after. Then open MC Patcher and click the patch button at the bottom and drag your texture pack (make sure it ends in .zip) into your texture packs folder. It should work fine if on a PC. If you are on a mac you may experience different results. I hope this worked, if it did not, i'm sorry I couldn't answer your question.
Can you get free minecraft codes?
No. Not unless the codes are from a giveaway. Every site that claims to give free minecraft codes without working for them is a scam. I advise you stay away from them, as they will give you viruses and other nasty things.
