A system for securing electronic devices includes a processor, a storage medium communicatively coupled to the processor, and a monitoring application comprising computer-executable instructions on the medium. The instructions are readable by the processor. The monitoring application is configured to receive an indication that a client has been affected by malware, cause the client to boot from a trusted operating system image, cause a launch of a secured security application on the client from a trusted application image, and analyze a malware status of the client through the secured security application.
