Intel Management Engine cleaner
I remember the furore when Intel introduced a unique CPU identifier in the Pentium 3. Now they have a microprocessor and OS running as a computer subsystem on every Intel server and laptop which is able to do pretty much what it likes with your system and people don't bat an eyelid.<p>Don't get me wrong, I love some of the benefits like remote control of my servers, fan speed control, monitoring of temps and voltages etc. but I do think we've given up a LOT of security for the sake of convenience. It wouldn't take much for a well crafted worm or heck a simple script to disrupt a whole network of ME/AMT enabled clients and servers.
