Why are there no anti virus for windows phone? Does that mean that virus can't get into these kind of phones?

Correct

From what I gather, because of the way WP handles apps... It would be very hard to make a virus that would infect apps. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I have never heard of one so far.

We don't need antiviruses.

Wow. Thanks guys. Better thank all of you.

Applications have very limited access to the resources of the phone, and run in a confined space.
And if there is no virus, no anti-virus software on demand and, here and there of.
