Hi,

Do you mean, you want to be able to retrieve programmatically if a Anti-Virus software is running ? Thats simple. You will need to identify the .EXE name of some of the common antivirus packages such as NAV and McAfee and check if this .EXE is running from code.

This can be done easily using the System.Diagnostics.Process class once you have the list of .EXEs
