You should be able to query for the WMI provider for the anti-virus
program. You need to connect to the "root\SecurityCenter" root in WMI, and
then query for the AntiVirusProduct class. The following thread shows some
details:

Mind you, this will only work for products which provide WMI providers
for their product. Windows also will look for certain registry settings,
but I don't think that is published.
Also, there are issues involving Symantic products as well.

Window's has a way to tell if Anti Virus is installed ( or at least
appears to - when it's not installed - it tells you ).
How can I do the same check? I just want to know if AV is installed.
