Hi. The control now: - Uses a different set of registry keys (thanks to the Symantec engineers for their help here) - Can uniquely determine if the installed SAV is the Corporate Edition (the keys above are only in the CE) - Returns the version information of the client (Major, Minor, Patch, Build) - Returns the parent server We are going to use this additional information at registration to: - Move all our students to the Symantec AV CE 9.0 version, which has some spyware and adware features that we want to make sure all our students have. Our current base has a mix from 7.5->8.x. - Make sure that they are installed as "Managed" (i.e. pointing to our parent server) so that we get the virus reports from all the machines and also can schedule scans, etc. Test Page: http://www.richmond.edu/~cfaigle/UofRMachineCheck/TestMachineCheck.htm Download Page: http://is.richmond.edu/techsupport/security/Downloads.htm If you have a previous version on a machine, you should: go to C:\[Windows|Winnt]\system32 regsvr32 /u UofRMachineCheck.dll del UofRMachineCheck.dll Next, I'm going to change the GetMachineStatus property to a method, and have it take a 'key' in order to add a hash to the returned string so that all the results can be processed and verified on the server rather than in the (user-insecure) browser.
