They won't.  Some companies have web-based scanners but as far as I know they're only for Windows.

Of course the lack of anti-virus will result in Google trying to claim their platform has no viruses, much like Apple did for the longest time, and it's not true.  All platforms are vulnerable, hackers just don't care enough to create viruses until the marketshare reaches around 5%.
There's no place like 127.0.0.1
