Hello,

I am new here, but I was reading an article about how to create your own Security Center knockoff and had a question. Windows XP Security Center pulls information about installed antivirus software via information provided to MS from the vendor, and also through WMI via root\SecurityCenter:SELECT * FROM AntiVirusProduct (more or less).

My question is this, hypothetically speaking if I were an AV vendor and wanted to register my product with WMI so that it would show in Security Center how would I do this?
