<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To securely perform antivirus scan. <P>SOLUTION: The invention includes a manageability engine 116 having a second processor which operates independently of a central processor. The manageability engine 116 can receive out-of-band communications regardless of a power state of the central processor. The manageability engine 116 receives a virus signature file signed with a private key of a remote computing device via an out-of-band communication channel 126, stores the signed virus signature file in a system memory, confirms the signed virus signature file using a public key stored in the manageability engine 116 corresponding to the private key of the remote computing device, and performs antivirus scan of one or more files stored in the computing device using one or more patterns in the signed virus signature file. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
