How would this “kill switch” work if the ai could spread through the internet or lay dormant in a hard drive with a timed activation at a later date?

If we're talking about true AGI here, would that be small enough to fit on a hard drive or spread through the internet? Perhaps I am naive, but I feel as though any computer program which is as smart as (or smarter than) a human is going to be unwieldly large.
