A software engineer in my team doesn't know how to clean up her computer filled with malware. Should I get my boss to fire her?
I believe she should know how to do such basic things.

If I were your boss and you came up to me with such a suggestion I would most likely:
Fire you.
Fire the person that conducted the behavioral interview and gave you a hire.
Does that surprise you? Unfortunately, it probably does, so let me elaborate.

I read people relatively well. However, it doesn't take a fine people-reader to understand that someone who doesn't have a problem to shallowly evaluate people based on their own beliefs regarding a single thing they believe they should or shouldn't know is, most likely, a terribly arrogant person with a superiority complex. Additionally, I do not read your intent as optimizing the team for the good of the company - I am reading it as "by pointing out other people's weaknesses to my superiors, I will gain their trust and advance quicker at the expense of the misfortune of my team-mate". So, you're basically optimizing for yourself and will sacrifice a potentially fine software engineer in order to do so. I may even speculate that you want to grow a more personal relationship with your boss in order to come to a position where you could do less, or worse, and get away with it.

I would never want to see such immature, toxic, cognitive patterns in my team members. You are there, together, for a reason, and you must be able to rely on each other, for better or worse. If you cannot have the basic trust in your team-mates, or the basic good will to help your team-mates when they are struggling, or, perhaps most importantly, the decency to face them first when you have issues, instead of immediately running to your manager - then you will most likely be the reason that the entire team will fail, when facing difficult times, regardless of your potential engineering superiority. So, I can't have that. You're awesome, man, and you apparently know that all too well, but I can't have you here because you need to grow up and learn how to behave in a society.

One last note - as others have pointed out - cleaning up her machine, installing software, etc. is not a software engineer's job. I have too much of my own debugging to do, so that I do not have the time and I do not want to spend my time debugging anything else, including hardware, OS, drivers, common software, etc. I just call people whose job is to keep machines running well and move on to the next thing on my plate.

As You are now the Boss .

That's none of your business. If your boss isn't stupid, she/he will see the incompetence of the employee and then take an appropriate action.

mtshew over sabi house wife. fire kor thunder ni

Oya tell yr boss nd see yr self leaving big head

If you are the team leader, yes but I believe there are other measures you can also take, if she's your colleague, it's a capital NO

not good.
be a good team member/leader and show her the way so she will do the right thing, God will bless you as you make positive impact on fellow humans lives.

If you cant deal with such a person,resign! and when you resign,alert me so that I can apply for that your position to put her through those basic things she needs to know.

If your boss sack her would it increase your pay? Did you employ her? If she get fired does it cover your own lapses? Hypocrite like you want to report someone else. Let your boss find out sir, sorry if my message Is harsh

This op is wicked why don't you just advise her to learn or teach her. Nobody knows tomorrow. You even get mind post this kind thing maybe you will be fired before her

If I'm your boss I'd fire you for being

1) a poor team player who doesn't like to help teammates.
2) a malicious person who'd rather see others go down.
3) an ignorant person who doesn't know that software developers do not necessarily have to be badass at system security.
4) a presumptuous ass who thinks he is in a position to give me orders.

You are very stupiid...

I guess you used to be that student in the department who submits assignment first, reminds lecturers there is a pending test, sits at the front of the class and asks unnecessary questions so that the lecturer will notice you.

Your mates are business owners employing people.

Stay there and be doing "class captain".
