A tamper resistant servicing Agent for providing various services (e.g., datadelete, firewall protection, data encryption, location tracking, messagenotification, and updating software) comprises multiple functional modules,including a loader module (CLM) that loads and gains control during POST,independent of the OS, an Adaptive Installer Module (AIM), and aCommunications Driver Agent (CDA). Once control is handed to the CLM, it loadsthe AM, which in turn locates, validates, decompresses and adapts the CDA forthe detected OS environment. The CDA exists in two forms, a mini CDA thatdetermines whether a full or current CDA is located somewhere on the device,and if not, to load the full- function CDA from a network; and a full-functionCDA that is responsible for all communications between the device and themonitoring server. The servicing functions can be controlled by a remoteserver.
