RE: [DUG]: Interfacing to Antivirus programs

[Myles Penlington]

In a simple world you are correct and what you are suggesting may work.

 

You can check if a DLL contains COM objects in two ways.

a. Search for the DLL in the registry - if it appears under the right subkey (CLASSID??).

b. Check if the DLL exports the functions   DllGetClassObject, DllCanUnloadNow, DllRegisterServer, DllUnregisterServer - using an appropriate tool.

Could be fun <g>

Hi,

 

I'm a bit of a COM newbie, but if you have a right-click option in Explorer, that means that Norton have provided a Shell Extension COM object on your system, which will have a standard COM interface for Explorer to use.  Is that a potential means of interfacing?? Or am I showing my ignorance to all ?

Look at their commandline options. The only way it will exist in an OCx is if Nortons have defined interfaces or API calls.

HI all.

Does anyone know of code/componets/ocx's that will let you progmatically tap into say Nortons Antivirus or anyother antivurs program to perform a scan?

I want to scan a file automatically....without having to goto explorer and rightclicking on the file to perform a scan.

 

 

Cheers,
