Dear All,<br />
<br />
I am developing an application for Windows 2000 NTFS file systems using VC++ MFC version 6.0. I need to query whether &quot;Norton antivirus&quot; is installed on a system or not. <br />
<br />
We know that Norton Antivirus runs as a service. So to find its existence I suppose, I should query whether the service for norton exists of not in the system. So my query is that <br />
&quot;Is there any API provided to know existence of a service given its name. (in this case, navapscv is the name of the service, also we know its rest of parameters like display name,etc)&quot;<br />
<br />
Or, is there any alternate way to accomplish the same task ?<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you need further clarification in this regards,<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
Rohit<br />

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
