Abstract:
1. A method for determining when results from a first criteria scan are deleted from a computing device, the method comprising: performing the first criteria scan on the computing device, wherein the first criteria scan determines a status of a virus scanner and critical patches on the computing device; storing results of the first criteria scan on the computing device, wherein the stored results of the first criteria scan comprise the status of the virus scanner, and the critical patches on the computing device; disconnecting the computing device from a first network; broadcasting an inform packet to at least one server; and if a response to the inform packet is received within a defined time parameter, deleting the stored results of the first criteria scan in their entirety if the computing device determines that the at least one server is not part of the first network such that the computing device is required to perform a second criteria scan before the computing device is allowed to reconnect to the first network.
