Google retains the power to forcibly remove programs from your Android handset. I'm not saying they'll abuse that power, and I imagine you'd want malware removed, but your statement isn't completely correct. |

For my Android phone nobody but me has the power to decide what I put on it.

He can
put what he likes on to it. However, Google can remove it again if installed through the Google market. (I don't think they can remove apps installed from other sites.)
To be honest, in the case of removing malware, I'd like to consider that an 'update'.
