Processor is i5 4590 (Vpro capable)
Chipset is B85 (Vpro not capable - http://ark.intel.com/products/75019 ). Motherboard is MSI B85 gaming - http://us.msi.com/support/mb/B85M_GAMING.html
After installing several tools from intel, I finally found out that Vpro of i5 is up on that "not supported" chipset! Please correct me if I am wrong. But the chipset information in intel site says that B85 it is not Vpro supported. If Vpro is not up, how Intel Anti Theft is running?
What this means to me as a desktop user at home who has no interest of remote management of THAT KIND and not subject to be managed by anyone else using those remote wake up on s0,s1,s2,s3... sleeping mode?
As the motherboard does NOT support Vpro, is it free from the risk of any kind of out-of-band remote connection including remote provisioning? Or is it still under the risk just because the processor has it?
If yes, how can I have the control or preferably disable that in all possible ways?
If no, then why there is Intel ME version listed in the Uefi [BIOS]? How can "Intel management and Security Status" can show the below listed information including AT service? How can I disable any sort of remote connection attempt by or attempted to my pc which uses Vpro or ME or AT or AMT? The target is to element all sorts of provisioning or pre-os communication.
Additional information
