12.8.5 WMI
Support for Windows Management Instrumentation
Windows Management Instrumentation is a basic Windows administration technique
that uses script and programming languages to allow read and write access, both local
and remote, to settings on Windows systems. AntiVir Professional supports WMI and
provides data (status information, statistical data, reports, planned requests, etc.) as well
as events and methods (stopping and starting processes) at an interface. WMI enables
you to download operating data from AntiVir Professional and to control AntiVir
Professional . You can request a complete reference guide to the WMI interface from the
AntiVir Professional manufacturer. The reference file is available in PDF format when
you sign a confidentiality agreement.
