That's the thing about viruses, someone has to get it before someone can remove it. With the chromebook, you don't get a virus for two reasons 1) It's a very small market and, like Apple, it's not worth their time to try and create one, 2) there is not anywhere to put the virus, the operating system, is locked down. The first thing that happens when you turn the chromebook on is that it checks that you have a clean version of the operating system. If, for whatever reason, it detects something, it returns you to the previous version and downloads a new one.

BTW, you never see the downloads or updates as they happen in the background.
