Google Chrome is vulnerable to, well, just about any virus attack!

The fact that Google don’t want to play nice on a PC environment and install where any responsible company would has been annoying me since Chrome came out! So imagine how I was not surprised and just felt like shouting from the roof tops today!

I’m not gonna, I’m not gonna… who am I kidding? ;~)

I told you so!

I guess since it’s Chrome and Google I’m sure there will be many people wanting to explain away this screen shot and say it’s something else! Go ahead – I dare you:

Please oh high lords of Google – don’t do evil on my system – fix your broken ass installer to install under normal security contexts!

Cheers,

If I remember correctly Google Chrome installs with ClickOnce and all ClickOnce installations will be under the user profile. So the if there are a security problem with this it will fall back on Microsoft then I guess?

I somewhat agree. ClickOnce does not however, in my book, mean that you shouldn't consider security for your application and the users thereof the #1 priority in your deployment strategy. Google wants the right to upgrade user software without user consent. Control over user behavior overtakes user security. This is sad.
