    usually malware is defined as software that violates the policy of the owner of the computer. And while there is politics involved in that decision you do need to define it as malware is harmful to people and organisations

    once again I agree you can't remove politics from a decsion nor should you try

        normally the claim is that all Chinese software is malware but yes I see your point. It also doesn't help that the Russian government takes not much interest in policing malware production for various reasons largely to do with the rise of organised crime after the fall of the soviet union

        yeah programs aren't non political they are made by people for purposes and thus aren't objective measures of truth. Also you shouldn't just accept anything a computer says because computers make mistakes all the time
