1. 99.9% of viruses are made for Windows operating systems. You don't need virus protection.
2. You don't need it. But if you want one search for ClamAV and ClamTK (the GUI for clamav) in the Ubuntu Software Center. I do however recommend a firewall. Install Gufw from the Ubuntu Software Center. It's a GUI for iptables (the Firewall). Make sure you turn it on once you install it, and that's it.
3. If you really want one just go to Ubuntu software center and install klamAv. i do not recommend clamtk because it's Gui is very weak compared to klamav
