Nobody would suggest a Windows install on a mac is any less susceptible to viruses and the like.
What we have discussed at length is how switching to an Intel processor is unlikely to make OS X vulnerable to the security exploits affecting Windows. That's a whole separate issue.
What worries me is that Windows exploits on a mac could be crafted to crack an OS X partition wide open. I know people want to have both OSes running side by side but I don't think I'd do that until it's proven reasonably secure.
