Detect and report installed antivirus/firewall #339

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Would be nice if we were to determine which Antivirus and Firewall software is 
installed on a user's machine, and report that in peerblock.log.  Especially 
since on XP in particular we have issues running alongside certain ones, and 
that's generally one of the first questions we end up needing to ask people, it 
would be nice to have this information already present in the tracelog for 
debugging purposes.

Looks like the best way to get this is via WMI, accessing the 
root\SecurityCenter or root\SecurityCenter2 namespaces.  Instances of 
AntiVirusProduct and FirewallProduct should give us the info we need.
