Can Google Chromebooks get viruses?

I'm thinking of buying a Google Chromebook as my next laptop but was wondering can they get viruses like the standard windows laptops?

A Chromebook is less likely to get a virus since Chromebook has only been out for a short time. But eventually someone could create viruses for it.

Viruses can be created for anything so always be aware of the sites you go to and the software things you download.

Never open a link in an unknown email either. That's another way to get viruses.
