If it detects that your system has been tampered with, or corrupted in any way, typically it will repair itself without you lifting a finger. Every time you boot the computer, it does a self check called Verified Boot. "Even if malware manages to escape the sandbox, your Chrome notebook is still protected. I was a little skeptical about this at first, but Google's explanation makes sense: "On your Chrome notebook, each web page and application you visit runs in a restricted environment called a "sandbox." So if you visit an infected page, it can't affect the other tabs or apps on your computer, or anything else on your machine. There is no anti-virus software for the Chrome OS netbook, but that doesn't mean you're in any danger. However, Google tells me you can "tether with an Android phone that creates a wireless network, and join that." Some tethering programs enable Bluetooth connections, but this doesn't seem to work either. My attempt to get online by tethering my Motorola Droid to Cr-48 via a USB cable was futile, even though it works perfectly on my Windows laptop. You cannot: Share your phone's data connection with a USB tether. According to Google, this is "enough for hundreds of emails or occasional browsing." If you don't have a Wi-Fi connection, the Chrome OS netbooks come with 100MB of Verizon 3G connectivity per month, for free, with the option of purchasing more. You can: Connect to the Internet using Wi-Fi or Verizon 3G. In the meantime, the New York Times application from the Chrome Web Store does work offline.
So far, it doesn't work, but Google tells me offline access will arrive early in 2011. Google has promised offline access to Google Docs, with changes being synced to the online version after one connects to the Internet.
