The next operating system, Google Chrome OS will remove the problem of computer viruses, says engineering manager of the company.

The director of engineering for Google, Linus Upson said in an interview with the New Scientist, announced that the operating system OS Chrome left to mature existing malicious codes.

“We redesigned the architecture of an underlying security so radically that users no longer have to worry about viruses, malware or security updates. The system simply works, “said Upson.

Chrome the operating system OS based on a Linux kernel, but unlike traditional operating systems, most processes are executed in the cloud. Thus, a considerably lower number of elements must be downloaded to the user’s personal computer. According to Linus Upson, the feature will benefit, undoubtedly, the security.

By contrast, Paul Jackson, an analyst at Forrester Research, noted that Google’s operating system will inevitably be vulnerable to attacks against the browser, or the Linux kernel.
