As far as I know there is an API built in Windows XP SP 2 that allows
antivirus program to register itself. Windows warns user that sie should
install an Antivirus software to protect the computer if no program
registers itself as an antivirus software.

I don't know if all antivirus programs register themselves but I'd expect
all current versions do that. I don't know if that'd be possible to read
this information when running on other Windows version (some antivirus
programs may check Windows version before registering). I don't know if
you'd be able to check if antivirus database is up to date using this
interface.

Wonderful. Any predictions of how long it will be before a virus uses
this to kill the anti-viral program?
