Somehow we doubt there is a significant amount of malware specifically targeting Chrome, and for whatever exists, were pretty sure most would fail when encountering IE Google Chrome Frame.

These Web attacks would be written to be able to circumvent Chromes security measures and would simply not expect Internet Explorers security layers. Given that Microsoft has the much larger market share, malware distributors have more of a reason to go after IE rather than Chrome. Furthermore, Microsoft mentioned security issues with Chrome in particular and after patching some initial holes after Chrome was first launch, the browser has maintained levels of security where other browsers including IE have failed.Is Microsoft really concerned about the security of its users in this case, or is it just trying to dissuade people from using a competitors plugin? If the latter is the case, perhaps they should get in gear and support the latest technologies. Browsers are one market where Microsoft still dominates over Google. They dont want to lose that share.
