Options available in expert mode only.
Support for Windows Management Instrumentation
Windows Management Instrumentation is a basic Windows management technology that
uses script and programming languages to allow read and write access, both local and
remote, to settings on Windows systems. Your Avira product supports WMI and provides
data (status information, statistical data, reports, planned requests, etc.) as well as events
and methods (stopping and starting processes) via an interface. WMI gives you the option
of downloading operating data from the program and controlling the program. You can
request a complete reference guide to the WMI interface from the manufacturer. The
reference file is available in PDF format when you sign a confidentiality agreement.
