Does anyone know if Action/Security Center uses a registry key (or file) to determine whether or not to notify the user that no virus protection is installed? I'm not trying to turn off notifications, I'm simply trying to figure out an easy and accurate way to determine if any anti-virus is installed and hopefully the name of the AV as well.
This can't be something accessed through WMI or similar services as I only have access to the registry and files (using samba).
