Google trying to put an end to computer virus....

After the release of the Operating System Google is trying to put an end to the computer virus. The engineering experts is studying the flaws in the existing Operating Systems and the measures to overcome the limitation. If the Google's venture is realized, then it would mark the beginning of a new era in the cyber world. It has been learnt that Linus Upson, Google's Engineering Director, has promised the company is: "Completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work." The dominance of Google among the competitors increases the chance for the success. The Google's policy of the Open Source also add support this argument. But in the history, the release of the Operating System Windows NT threatened several antivirus firms since there was a rumor that all the security flaws of the previous versions of Windows has been solved and no virus can harm the computer running on Windows NT, but the result was against the rumor. There are several challenges before the Google. The web browser Chrome has been reported security flaws and two of them had already solved. We can expect an Operating System free from viruses and malware at free of cost.

  2. Google must be serious about this. I kind heard this news also in this site's newsletter http://www.systemsecurityinstitute.org

    But still a far and beyond possible. If they learn the flaws of a OS it's might be harder for the next generation. Covering flaws on the defenses is really difficult to do. What's more if they can do it the future hackers can also do it as well. They can also do a flaw to a system if they wanted to as well. But i hope Google's engineers can really put an end to it. But still the possibilities is still odd because learning is the most basic skill that a hacker has so for sure they can make an anti-measurements on the engineer's actions.

  3. it's reallyso hard to remove a virus completely , it's business cycle.. why would people created an antivirus because there are always a virus to attack every now and then its being updated day by day just like the antivirus too.
