Don't bet too much money on it being safer. Avast popped up to say that it had detected something while I was using Chrome Monday or Tuesday. I don't get it often enough not to care what it is, I just close out the tab.

Is that a weekness of Chrome? Probably not, just Avast saying that something is there and I shopuld go away.


As I said, the people that write the virus will write it, AND test it, against anything that's popular. With so many people absolutely, and insanely, hating MS Windows most of the viruses will be aimed there.

Not that I'm paranoid, but I occasionally turn off "System Restore", and switch to "Safe Mode" before updating my anti-virus software. Then I'll scan in safe mode. Restart the computer and scan again. I'll do this if things seem strange. Mayby once a year in Windows XP, but only once in Windows 7.
