Hi guys, can anybody explain me how to access the anti virus and
firewall settings from a .net application? I want to detect from my
application the windows security settings. I'll appreciate any help.

You can access the firewall settings by adding a reference to
Hnetcfg.dll (Win2003 / WinXP) or Firewall.dll (Vista). This will give
you access to the firewall API. Add the namespace and you will be good
to go.
