If she’s looking for a computer without viruses or security vulnerabilities, every computer needs to be dismissed.
Macs are attacked less because it’s such a tiny market share. However, Macs have the most number of security vulnerabilities and they are the easiest to hack http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=2941.

The PC is much harder to break in but more people try. The reality is that most PC owners don’t have a problem with viruses (even if they’re not running anti-virus) and if they do get them, it’s because they did something they shouldn’t have.
