I can honestly tell you, that this issue has never come up. But, SAP is as secure from virus attacks as the operating system that it runs on. A SAP security administrator would want to insure that the Operating System (NT, UNIX, LINUX) is virus resilient. I have not seen a virus yet that specifically attacked SAP.
