Given how the 10$ - or was it 5$ "laptop" was essentially a thumb drive,
wouldnt be surprised if this is another glitch by some reporter. The points
behind this development seems to be security - which also sounds ridiculous
that we want to develop "simple" OS to make things secure, when you can
technically just unplug the computer from the network and it is as secure as
it could be.
For all you know, going with hint of "antivirus" there, this might actually
be a firewall software which someone misheard or misrepresented.
There was this very interesting article I saw about how china was requiring
source code and encryption key disclosure from all suppliers to its govt of
encryption enabled gear (chip OS / OS / firewalls / routers / antispam
software etc). Think about that.
