PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the execution of a program dangerous to a user and a system, such as a virus infected program and a maliciously created program. SOLUTION: Prior to installation or starting up of a plug-in, a function list showing unit 200a thereof shows to an application to be a host a list of functions (services) to be used by acquiring from the host. When a dangerous function (erasing a file, etc.), specified in advance in the list is included, a security management unit 201a of the host asks the user whether or not to still continue the installation/starting-up by an execution inquiry unit 201d. Also, during a plug-in execution, whether or not to continue the execution of the plug-in is inquired at any time when an actually requested function is not shown in the above list. |
