I know, that's long overdue, huh? What's the catch? The motherboards must contain Intel's AMTv3.2+., VPro, or the Centrino VPro chip. I think the AMT is for Active Management Technology. It's available on every new Intel board I've seen released lately. There's one more thing, and I would only consider this in the direst viral outbreaks, you can shut down all of these systems simultaneously but it's immediate and is more like yanking the plug out of the wall. But if you were around for the "I love you" or "Melissa" viruses you might have contemplated it. We can solve it and technology will lead the way. Viva La Energy Needs Revolution!
