The virus-writers will have a hell of a time -- Win7 is pretty darn resistant.

Of course, as with any operating system, the biggest security weakness is the component between the keyboard and chair. Human-engineering has overtaken direct OS attacks, for the latest releases of all the OSes.

Educate yourself. Win7 is by far and away the most malware-resistant OS ever to come out of Microsoft, and in the Pwn2Own contests Win7 lasted longer than OSX.
