I believe that Antivirus vendors need to be registered with Microsoft in
order to have access to the APIs involved.
Useful information might be:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Bb432509.aspx
One of the things the first doc mentions is that apps registered with the
security center must be signed, I believe.
