Good day, I am developing an Antivirus program and want to register it with the SecurityCenter (ActionCenter on Windows 7). I am setting the following values in a new AntiVirusProduct instance of root\SecurityCenter2: instanceGuid, displayName, pathToSignedProductExe, pathToSignedReportingExe, productState. Everything writes succesfully and i can see the values using wbemtest. Still Security Center doesn't recognize the program. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Boris

Try this hotfix: The system health report does not detect installed antivirus applications in Windows 7 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2482947"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Thank you for your reply. But unfortunately this plugin is aimed for ia64 Windows 7 and 2008 R2. My problems are with x86 and amd64. When i try to install it i get a message "The update is not applicable to your computer". Regards, Boris

ok, the request page only offers the IA64 version. I've uploaded the fixes for you: *link removed* Reply if you got them so that I can delete them from my SkyDrive. "A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Thank you for your time. You can delete them now. Unfortunately they don't fix my problem. Windows 7 still doesn't recognize my av. Regards, Boris

you should ask this in the MSDN forums. This the the right place for coding issues."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Hi, After checking the issue, it seems this is a general developing related issue.

Hi, I think i already figured it out. There is a private API for communication with the Security Center on Vista SP1 and 7 and in order to acquire it, you have to contact Microsoft and sign a non-disclosure agreement.
