As Boba said, for normal mobile phones you really don't need to worry about viruses. Even for smartphones you don't need to be too concerned. There are a handful of viruses for smartphones as far as I am aware and actually becoming infected with one isn't terribly common as far as I know.
For you to receive a virus via Bluetooth you would need to have Bluetooth activated and set to discoverable mode. If you simply turn your handset's Bluetooth off then you can't get a virus that way.

What is BlueJacking?
"Bluejacking utilises Bluetooth technology to deliver unsolicited messages to those with enabled devices, in its simplest form Bluejacking is pushing a contact or other file to a mobile device using a Bluetooth connection. Now much has been written on the legality of Bluejacking, it is important to note that while use of Bluetooth to send messages to other mobile users is not illegal depending on the message you send it could well get you in a spot of bother. The easiest rule to follow is to consider Bluejacking to be a very short email, do not send anything offensive or that contravenes local laws use some common sense if you send fun and inoffensive messages Bluejacking will raise a smile and some curious looks but not tempers.
Bluejacking relies on the vast numbers of mobile phones that are shipped as "visible" from the factory, or the users who leave their phones set to visible for ease of use, instead of searching for a phone to pair with a bluejacker will search for phones within range and then send a contact from their phones memory which will appear as a message on the screen of the other mobile.
This unsolicited message looks to all intents like an SMS but the user is mystified as it does not have a phone number or indeed anyway of tracing its sender, messages tend to be quite limited as most mobiles will only display the first line of the contact on the screen, but that is normally room to come up with something amusing. "
and the difference between blujackin and blue snarfing again copied from www.bluejackaddicts.com
"Is bluejacking connected with bluesnarfing?
This is a common question and the answer is no. Bluejacking involves a 1 way process of sending information from your phone to another persons phone. Bluesnarfing is the name given to the process which someone steals your information like contacts, images etc.... and is illegal."
