Security Center API

Question

Is there an API to the wscsvc?

API needed to provide such capabilities as:

- programmatically check if antivirus is ok

- add new component that will be monitored by wscsvc 

 

Does such thing exist?

I've managed to find these links:

Windows Security Center

"You have some Non Disclosure Agreement document to sign before you get the access to the security center. The interface is not likely availble publicly. The contact information can be found at Implementing the Teredo Security Model"

And there is WMI interface:

Code Snippet

Set oWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\SecurityCenter")

Set colItems = oWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from AntiVirusProduct")

For Each objAntiVirusProduct In colItems

msg = msg & "companyName: " & objAntiVirusProduct.companyName & vbCrLf

msg = msg & "displayName: " & objAntiVirusProduct.displayName & vbCrLf

msg = msg & "instanceGuid: " & objAntiVirusProduct.instanceGuid & vbCrLf

msg = msg & "onAccessScanningEnabled: " & objAntiVirusProduct.onAccessScanningEnabled & vbCrLf

msg = msg & "productUptoDate: " & objAntiVirusProduct.productUptoDate & vbCrLf

msg = msg & "versionNumber: " & objAntiVirusProduct.versionNumber & vbCrLf

msg = msg & vbCrLf

Next

WScript.Echo msg

Answer 9

I am trying to write an EXE using VB.NET and tried the above code, but not working, pls let me know what should be done to check if the antivirus is installed and what is the definition it is using so that it will trigger an alert when the AV is non compliant, tried the above code but not working in VB.NET but runs good as VBS

Answer 10

you may use win vista or win 7

the above code for win XP or earlier to know how to differentiate between them

"root\SecurityCenter"    => win XP or earlier

"root\SecurityCenter2"  => win vista or later

Answer 11

Chinton, OPSWAT has a VB code sample to check if AV is installed, definition info (including whether definition is current or not)
