How can I check that Ubuntu is 100% secure?
Should I install a firewall, antivirus, malware software, or any other security or are their security software programs installed by default?

Define 100% secure. The only 100% secure machine is in a locked room, not connected to any networks and off. If you are using this for a bank server, you will want to install extra programs. If you are using it to read your mail, the out-of-the-box setup will be fine for you. This cannot be answered unless you explain your requirements. – terdon May 06 '14 at 10:32
