You point out a very valid point to the concept of a "virus-proof
computer":
When the manufacturer that supplied the computer to the purchaser
chooses to put on what the owner of the computer views as malware - it's not
only "not virus-proof" but comes with virus by default!
So that's another
challenge to the entity wanting to build such an OS: preventing a manufacturer
from installing software the manufacturer defines as "not virus" but the
consumer defines as "virus".
SWEET! I just realised, the virus-proof
computer must - by definition - utterly avoid MS software :)
By my
definition of viral anyways!

Boot every time you want to use the OS and its applications from a read only
medium like a CD which was built using trusted sources. I do this with several
Linux LiveCDs, and also sometimes with a Windows PE disc, and it works just fine
for general surfing and putzing around.
That wipes the slate clean with each day (or time you use it after booting).
Even exploits will only survive until the next reboot.
Data files are stored on a USB stick inserted after a clean boot is finished.
