Hi,

I guess this is more of a development question but...

I want to be able to check if an AV client is installed and if so -
which one. The OS seems to do this via the Security Centre - but HOW
does it do this? Is it a reg key? if so what list is it checked
against?

Any info appreciated!!!!

Graham.

That sure would be lovely information for just about any malware author to
have, don't you think?
