VPN is more like anti-hacking. To hide your true IP, your computer is less likely to be breached by hackers, and the information you send is less likely to be intercepted by hackers.
However, you can definitely get viruses, malware, etc., while using VPN. After all, you actually load the internet content on your computer. If those internet pages and content are compromised, the malware and viruses they contain will be downloaded onto your computer anyway with or without a VPN. Good anti-virus software like Kaspersky will block unauthorized downloads in this case.
That's why a VPN is no substitution for anti-virus software.
