Not at the moment.
It could happen some day in the future, but since there isnt uncessary open ports, or a large user quote, no such "bad-bugs" exist, or at least are known.
For the same reason there aint any anti-bad-bugs.
There are quite a few Anti-Virus softwares, to be uses not for protection of your machine, but Window$ machines that you might be networked, or maybe share infected files.
