Macs are nice, but pricey. I use Linux running on commodity hardware and don't worry too much about this kind of stuff. Most of the threats against Linux (and there are many) are aimed at servers rather than end users. Of course no system can be 100% secure, but Windows is a big easy target for malware authors so that's where most of them go.
For anyone wanting to give Linux a spin I would recommend Linux Mint, which you can burn to a live CD or USB stick and try without affecting your current operating system:
http://www.linuxmint.com/
(It's also nice to have around if only to have something to run if your primary OS gets corrupted.)
