no but you need java

Minecraft beta is not free, you have to pay to play it. Any website attempting to give you Minecraft for free is illegal. If you find a site like this do not download anything from it as it is not only illegal, but may contain viruses.
No, Minecraft does not have any Virueses if you are downloading it from the Offical Minecraft wedsite. If you are downloading a Cracked version (Free version) then there is a 80% chance of it being a virus.
I think all the free minecraft is gone, and you cannot download it at all anymore.
Cracked versions can give you viruses depending on what website you use.
Almost certainly no.
No, many people are using minecraft without any problems with viruses.
You can't unless you have a friend who buys you a gift code. Any sites claiming they can give you Minecraft premium accounts for free, or generator downloads, are illegal and will most likely not even work. The generators could also contain viruses.
If you download minecraft from minecraft.net, or the homepage, you will not get viruses. Downloaded from anywhere else, or any *sales advertisements* (ex. Minecraft for only 10$) you may get a virus. Minecraft is safe, but the things you download for it or off of it may give you a virus.
You can play Minecraft Classic for free in a browser, at the Minecraft webpage.
None. Don't click on ads or links or websites that say they will give you free MineCraft. They will download viruses into your pc without you knowing.
I cannot speak about all the maps, because I have not downloaded them all but you can't tell if it does if your only criteria is "a minecraft map." however, actual, normal minecraft maps do not contain any viruses. If you want, you can scan it for viruses with some software
