the effect of having a virus on your computer depends on which virus you have. some view your personal data like credit cards and stuff. some destroy your computer so it wouldn't work anymore and you would have to reinstall windows and all your data could be lost.

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).

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).
