A method and system provide information by which a host machine on which a virtual machine is running can be determined via a messaging channel between the virtual machines running on the host machine and the host machine. The virtual machine can then determine whether or not it should be executing. In order for the virtual machine to determine whether it can execute, it will need to know information about the host machine on which it will be running. Similarly, a virtual machine can determine whether it has been exposed to any viruses or whether a particular update has been run by knowing the host machines on which it has been run.
