Ubuntu does indeed ship with a firewall by default, UFW (stands for Uncomplicated FireWall ) to be specific, since version 8.04. There's only command-line front-end to the firewall in default installation, and you can enable that via
sudo ufw enable
There is optional GUI front-end, called GUFW. It's available in default software repositories and can be installed via Software Center or sudo apt install gufw in terminal.
As for virus protection I'm assuming you're talking about antivirus. Long story short, due to differences between Windows and Linux systems you're safe from Windows specific malware and in general Linux users do not use antivirus, however such software is still available for installation. See What antivirus programs are available?
Note that you don't need internet connection to enable firewall, though you do need internet connection for installing software from repositories.
