No. Unix is a operating system that was developed by Bell Labs, now owned by Alcatel-Lucent - which spawned a whole family of Unix-like and Unix-based systems (e.g. the Linux kernel, BSD, and Solaris). Mac OS X is based on and has roots from proprietary modifications of BSD (a "flavor" of Unix-like operating systems) called Darwin.

Why virus attacks are less in UNIX as compared to windows?

Windows computers are the target of almost every computer virus on the planet because Windows is the most popular type of OS (Operating System). Think about it, if almost 94% of the population who have computers on Earth are using Windows, don't you think hackers and virus writers will take advantage of that and aim at every Windows computer? Apple computers and like you stated, Unix computers, are less vulnerable to virus attacks because the majority of computers are Windows (that's not to say you still can't get a virus if you have Apple or Unix).

My iAtkos v1.0 doesn't have internet?

iATKOS and other ports of Apple OS X are not designed to support hardware outside of what Apple uses in their Macintosh computers. Adding drivers to an OS X port requires experience with UNIX kernels and depends on the hardware you are running the operating system on. If you are not experienced with UNIX, you definitely should NOT be using an OS X port.
