PowerShell Script : Find the name of Installed Antivirus on local or remote laptop.

 

Do you ever want to know what antivirus installed on remote laptop, or does remote system has a antivirus or not, knowing this is  always a pain, normally you have to call user and ask them,.

Today i have found a cool namespace named “"root\SecurityCenter2" ”  and this name space has a class “AntiVirusProduct ”, you just need to query that class and it will show you the name { and few more info}  of the antivirus installed.

You can download a little script { if you like } from the above link and when i run it, you can see that it is showing me the name of antivirus installed on my laptop.

You can run the above script on remote laptop too.

function Get-AntivirusName {

 

[cmdletBinding()]   

param (

[string]$ComputerName = "$env:computername" ,

$Credential

)

 

 

       BEGIN

              {

                     # Setting WMI query in a variable

              $wmiQuery = "SELECT * FROM AntiVirusProduct"

 

              }

 

 

       PROCESS

              {

                     # doing getting wmi

               

                     $AntivirusProduct = Get-WmiObject -Namespace "root\SecurityCenter2" -Query $wmiQuery  @psboundparameters # -ErrorVariable myError -ErrorAction 'SilentlyContinue'         

            Write-host $AntivirusProduct.displayName -ForegroundColor Cyan

 

              }

 

       END {

 

              }

} #end  of the function
