From: "Slawek" <sgp@telsatgp.com.pl> 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?
