    Google idea

    Google, with it's all mighty search algorithm need to use that in a FREE anti-virus program, I'm happy with the one that i have but i find that one program will find something that another won't.

    even if the Anti-virus software ust told you where the virus is and how to remove it, via links.

    It doesn't go along with Google's main mission:
    Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.

    The why would there be 'GoogleOS'? how does that fit in to 'Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful.'

    Isn't a Google OS just speculation. I don't think I've seen anything offical from them about its development. They are getting into more and more projects, but most are related in one way or another to search and/or the placements of ads on new types of products.

    Just use AVG Antivirus It's great (better than norton in my opinion) and the version I linked to is free and almost always removes the virus.

    I use the Microsoft Anti-Spyware, and Ad-Ware for spyware and if there are viruses just reinstall windows .

    I won't recommend it but it does a better job than those anti-virus things.

    WTF, you mean Ad-Aware, right? :P

    PS:
    BTW, it is made by LavaSoft, a Swedish company. *shameless national pride*

    There isn't one! All those images you've been seeing are just photoshop or MS Paint junk. Either way, AVG and kaspersky are pretty good virus scanners.

    Avast! Antivirus and Segate Person Firewall always seems to do the trick for me. And as far as google's mission statement goes, I think they stray from that more and more with each new development. How is an IM organizing data? I love it, don't get me wrong but it isn't really copacetic with the mission statement.

    With IM you are making information more accessible by allowing people share cause the information doesn't always have to come from Google's end, it's the same with Gmail.

    You have to remember that google isn't like Microsoft. I am pretty sure google won't make an OS since thats not what it deals with. I think its boundries will reach to internet only things like the messenger, e-mail, etc.

    first -> Half the virus i get, i can't even use the computer past the 'dos start up' or the mouse/keyboard gets disabled.

    Second -> I've have multiple anti-virus, spyware/adware and a firewall, and there all useless.

    Thirdly -> I hate the net! and microsoft, the only reason i'm here is because my freinds can't get off there butts to go out and do something with me, plus i don't have a car

    Heres a solution. Don't download viruses. I have had my comp for 4 years and I admit its shitty as hell but at least I haven't had a virus in that time.
