Abstract
A virtual machine transmits local files to a secure virtual machine hosted by a hypervisor for malware detection. When malware is detected, the secure virtual machine can responsively provide remediation code to the virtual machine on a temporary basis so that the virtual machine can perform suitable remediation without a permanent increase in size of the virtual machine.
