The survey question as posted presupposes answers to my questions which I believe are not so obvious.

The survey says "from your machine", a company machine is not your machine.

Isn't it up to the individual to decide which software is malicious to their pc and which not?
What about the computer illiterate you might ask. IMHO if you own a computer then you should endeavour to understand at least the basics on how to protect the computer.
Having a computer is similiar to owning a car, you need to learn how to drive it, so to speak.

You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.
We greviously regret the error of which Douglasw Jensen speaks.

Oh don't go on. It's just my anally retentive nature when it comes to matters grammatical. Of course that presumes that I always write proper and we all know where that leads.

No, where does that lead, to a bag of shake and a long trip down a long trail?

It's pure arrogance, and that always leads to ruin.

I agree that malware should be able to be removed remotely. Microsoft kind of already does this with the Malicious Software Removal Tool which I think is run every time it gets an update. However, things that I pay for should be mine. A high school student a while back sued Amazon for remotely removing a book that contained all his notes for his thesis.

The problem starts when we try to define 'malicious'

... and who gets to define it.

If it was installed without my permission, but I want the right to choose to remove it after it is identified.

The answer is "F*** no, Steve, keep your jasmine-tea-sucking, fluffy-bunny-humping mitts off the hardware and software I bought and paid for."
Which is why I do not own either an iPad or iPhone.

Once I paid it's mine.
However it should be notify to the user about the malicious application, and should proceed through user's permission. User has to take there own risk.
I appreciate your help all the time...

No no no. Any such kind of operation will be treated as Hacker attack and I love my PC. So, I will keep them out.

That the OS maker ask you for permission to remove malicious software.
It also seems to me that almost everyone have missed out on the fact that Microsoft have been doing exactly that for many years. You get it via Windows Update and is called "Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool".
|
|
|
|
|
But you have the option of not installing it.
