To be fair, if you're not on the internet, you're unlikely to get 
any files that will trigger that bug in Microsoft's malware 
checker, as they noted that they first saw it on a website on the 
internet.  Of course, you could still get such files on a USB 
stick, which just highlights that unless you completely shut in 
your computer from the world, you can get bit, just slower and 
with less consequences than on the internet.

I wondered what that Project Zero topic had to do with Chromium, 
turns out it's a security team that google started three years 
ago to find zero-day holes in almost any software.  That guy from 
the team also found the recently famous Cloudbleed bug that 
affected Cloudflare.

They have a blog up that details holes they found in all kinds of 
stuff, security porn if you will: ;)
