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.
not if you download it off the minecraft site. you can get mods for it but they can be a virus if its fake, but the chance of that is slim, and theres no chance that you can get a virus off a mod on the minecraft mods website.
you just go to the Minecraft website and download minecraft again if 1.3.1 was your latest version. or you can download minecraft version changer.
