Hi. I am releasing a new version (1.0.7.1) of the UofRMachineCheck DLL code (Visual Studio 2003, VC++), test pages, server executables and compliance check that we use when registering student (Windows) machines to determine that they have a correct Symantec Corporate Edition Anti-Virus install with current AV definitions and to turn on automatic updates on their machines normally and by policy. In 1.0.7.1, the control now detects the presence of the Microsoft Anti-Spyware (Beta) software. We are not currently using this detection, but may want to this coming fall if we decide to enforce that the students use this since Microsoft has said they are going to make it available for free. If I need to make a change to detect the non-beta release, I will. We ran the 1.0.6.1 version on 3000 student machines this past fall without issue. Docs include flow of a sample student registration process. This is released under GPL with all source and files. If you make your own version, please change all GUIDs as the current ones are all reserved for our official release.
