Well I'm new to FreeBSD, but in general in Unix 'fsck' ("file system
checker" IIRC) will run when needed.

FreeBSD is anti-virus ;-)
For the most part, there are no Unix "virii" but you can protect yourself

There are definitely Unix trojan horse programs out there, but not the type
of virii you are used to in the Windows world
