Computer information - brco900033 - 03-21-2012
Hello,
I'm making a computer information program and i was wondering if I can make a code that searches for an installed antivirus on the computer...
so
1 Is it possible?
2 If it's possible, how can i make that code?
Many thanks!

Well, I believe that you would have to scan through the users program files directory and individually search the names to see if they are names of antivirus applications.

Thanks for the help!
