Retrieving Antivirus product information in C# on x64 platform using WMI

C#

Hello,

This is actually my first post and I'm new to C#.NET programing. I have been looking all over MSDN and the internet, but couldn't find the answer.

I'm writing a small program to show the user the information regarding the anti-virus installed on his Windows 7 or Vista x64 machine.

I'm trying to detect "Kaspersky internet security" which is on my own machine.(Windows 7 x64).kaspersky is WMI registered in both antivirus and internet security and antispy.

I found this post - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/d555f390-dd75-4604-b653-df0a9f4c2fa3/,
but it didn't work for x64. It looks that the path to "root\security" is different in x64 version of Windows or something.

The following code works for Windows XP 32-bit but not for 7 x64.

Any idea?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Management;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
  public partial class Form1 : Form
  {
    public Form1()
    {
      InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      label1.Text = "Company =" + Antivirus("companyName");
      label2.Text = "Name =" + Antivirus("displayName");
    }
    private string Antivirus(string type)
    {
      string computer = Environment.MachineName;
      string wmipath = @"\\" + computer + @"\root\SecurityCenter";
      try
      {
        ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(wmipath,
          "SELECT * FROM AntivirusProduct");
        ManagementObjectCollection instances = searcher.Get();
        //MessageBox.Show(instances.Count.ToString()); 
        foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in instances)
        {
          return queryObj[type].ToString();
        }
      }

      catch (Exception e)
      {
        MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
      }

      return null;
    }  
  }
}
