There are no widespread viruses for GNU/Linux systems.

No internet connection is 100% safe, but it is not antivirus that you
need. It is a job for a firewall.

GNU/Linux systems are much more secure than Windows by design. For
example, you will never get infected simply by browsing the web.
It is not that it is impossible to get infected, but for this to happen
you need to be really stupid or really unlucky. Do not run applications
of unknown origin and you will be more than safe.
If, however, you need something to play with, look at these packages:
avscan - virus scanner
rkhunter - trojan (rootkit) detector
chkrootkit - trojan (rootkit) detector
firestarter - firewall
There is a lot more security related software, but common sense is still
the best security measure. Note that none of them will make your system
more secure simply by installing it.
Enjoy your Debian.
