Abstract
A method for providing malware cleaning includes detecting potential malware on a first device connected to a network. A request including information to allow a second device connected to the network to determine an appropriate cleaning response is sent from the first device to the second device over the network. Upon receiving the request, the second device attempts to identify an appropriate cleaning response and, if a response is identified, sends the cleaning response over the network to the first device. The cleaning response is usable by the first device to address the detected potential malware.
