I have both Neo Office and Open Office, since they're both free. I slightly prefer Open Office when opening Microsoft stuff. For that matter, Apple's iWork can open and save Office documents, but it's not a 100% match. That may be OK, as most people are not Office power users, using every feature.
Versiontracker.com is also a good site. They track the latest versions of all software (Mac and PCs) and have user reviews. Mac people are better at posting reviews.
I should note that both are OpenOffice, but NeoOffice is OpenOffice rewritten slightly to use Java. I prefer OpenOffice native myself, as it runs faster than the Java version.
Chances are you will not get a virus on a mac, BUT be careful with parallels. People make the mistake of thinking that you can't get a virus on a mac, so they download something questionable to their mac, and then open it in parallels. You can get a virus this way on windows, so when you use parallels, it will be as if your windows computer has a virus. I'm not sure if it can harm your actual mac machine, though, but be careful and have anti virus installed on parallels.
