I was wondering if beta versions are considered to have tons of viruses. Thanks.

The denomination "Beta" is used for software that is not considered fully finished. It has nothing to do with viruses.

It is possible that Beta software has "bugs", which simply means defects or problems that have not bee resolved yet. Those problems may present an inconvenience, but are not harmful to the user's computer.

When everything (or as much as can be tested) is working correctly, the software stops being beta, and is considered a full or commercial release version.
