I know that we could use WMI to retrieve information about installed security apps and their statuses, if any, Like the answer in the link here 1. The question is: How to go the opposite road?

I mean, I'm trying to make my personal Antivirus software (I know, Big, Huge, Hard, Some will think I'm kidding, I'm OK with all that). I want to know how to register me software as an Antivirus for windows 7? I'm using C# BTW.

You can do this with the registry, by adding a key into the SecurityCenter I guess.

On Windows XP it is called SecurityCenter On Windows Vista, 7, 8 it is called SecurityCenter2
