"Google, while announcing its new Chrome operating system late Tuesday, said users would no longer have to worry about viruses, malware and security updates"
Good marketing. Tough to live down when you're first discovered to be "human" (developed by software engineers) - as it will be when Apple's first takes a major hit [which news suggests the iPhone may be vulnerable to].
"Google... said users would no longer have to worry about viruses, malware and security updates"
I'm guessing since most applications on Chrome will be web-based, the vendor will worry about them. They will be able to more easily and quickly detect + destroy phishing schemes, viruses etc. Kind of like how Facebook has responded to malicious wall posts.
For me the bigger concern would be the loss of productivity due to downtime of web services, or loss of internet connectivity.
