Chrome OS is a pretty closed operating system where the only way to expand its capabilities is by downloading extensions that are also available on the Google Chrome Browser.

I prefer Eset NOD32 on all of my netbooks (I'm not affiliated to Eset) as it does not slows down my netbook and offers great protection.
