Use the Windows Installer API to enumerate installed products. Compare
that with a source list of known anti-virus products. If a match is
found, then display back to the user. If a match is not found, there
still may be an anti-virus installed that you did not have in the
source list, so display a message letting the user decide if they
should stop services or continue.
Hope that helps,
