At any one time, the answer to this question could vary. In general, Macs are less prone to viruses than Windows-based computers. This is in part due to the smaller market share of Apple/Mac computers, and also due to the general design and architecture of the Apple computers.
In short, you shouldn't assume that because you have a Mac you are immune from attack, but your chances of being "infected" are much lower. You should still take appropriate measures to safeguard your computer per recommendations posted on the Apple website.

Can Only Windows PCs can have viruses?
Nope. Any operating system(mac, Linux, etc.) can get a virus but just like any other program, the virus has to be made to target that operating system. A windows virus won't run on a mac and a mac virus won't run in windows. Since windows is the most popular OS for desktop use, the majority of viruses target it, and thus windows users are at greater risk of getting a virus, but a mac user or a Linux user can get a virus as well if they're not careful.
