Computer Viruses are binary executable programs that can self replicate, & in some situations self modify, most often with the intent of modifying the Operating System to lock out the user & distribute the intended payload. Initial entry into your machine can be through security holes in the Operating System, lack of security software, or by confusing the user to launch an application against thier will or understanding.

The potential impact of these viruse programs will vary, depending on the system, & can range from simple to complex depending upon the payload or targetted intent.

Further pototenial effects of the major computer virus of today are loss of information of computer files, unexpected computer shut-downs, inability to access internet or local network resources, & possibly unexecpted network traffic which can be detected & reported by your ISP(Internet Service Provider).

Actually its a myth to say a Mac can't get a virus. The real reason that Mac & Linux users do not get computer viruses is because Mac viruses make up less than 3% of the viruses out there.

Both Mac OSX & Linux are also less likely to get viruses because of how viruses target & attack the Windows Operating system. Unlike windows computer's the user account has admin rights by default. Microsoft has since released Window 7 & Vista both with an attempt to correct this by having UAC(User Account Control) which depending on whom you ask, is actually more annoying than helpful.

Because of the difference in file systems, NTFS for Windows, HPFS for Mac OSX, & any number of file systems for Linux, binary executables can not natively launch from one Operating System to another. However this does not prevent the files from laying dormant on the that file system, & nothing prevents the virus from launching once it does hit the targeted file system.
