Anything that you would possibly have downloaded from Neopets would have been checked for viruses by TNT, but on the other hand, my Windows based PC has been infected with a Vundo Trojan [otherwise known as "Virtumonde" or "Virtumundo"] and the only place that I can think of that it would have come from is Neopets. Vundo generally causes inexplicable and uncontrollable pop ups while browsing the web (and sometimes even when you're not Surfing) and is extremely difficult to get rid of. If that's your problem, I suggest that you do not try any free fixes found through Google, but bring your computer to a professional or ask a professional for advice on how to remove the Trojan yourself.

My sister-in-law has had problems there. In fact, she just now went there and redceived warnings of three viruses. I'm sure they are scanning but these were all brand new viruses. This can happen anywhere, however. So, just be sure you have good real time virus protection.

The basic answer to this question is no. No legitimate Neopets page will give you a virus just by navigating to it. However, any advertisements on the Neopets page that link away from Neopets are not guaranteed to be safe from viruses. In addition, clicking on things in a USER shop (NOT a Neopian shop, such as Spooky Petpets in the Haunted Woods) might link you to a page that contains viruses.

The people who run Neopets do their best to keep it safe, however. For example, any user who is found to have a link on his or her page that takes you away from Neopets can have the link removed or even be frozen for the offence.

No there is not a virus on the site but if you bring your pet to the NeoLodge after it returns there will be an email from Neopets (from your pet) and if you open it you will get the virus.

No. the site itself is clean and safe. However you should be careful about clicking adverts on site and never follow any offsite link given to you by another user.
