Hi,

   I dont know if this is the right list to send this but.
   Anyone know if there is an API to list the antivirus that are installed
in a windows machine and retrieve if the antivirus is up to date? Or any
way to retrieve these informations, i need to do a program to acomplish
these
tasks.

That would require each application register itself as a particular
"type" of application - which does not happen AFAIK.  There is certainly
an API (probably more than one) to enumerate all the software installed,
but I imagine it's up to the programmer to enumerate the specific "type"
of software.

Of course, this is based solely upon my experiences and (probably
mis-)conceptions of Windows so take it as such.
