Additional Notes

• In discussion with Erick, we have learned that MinUWet relies on Microsoft's Security Centre for its anti-vrius report. Security Center is one of the features included with Windows XP Service Pack 2. If it is not installed, then MinUWet will try to detect Symantec AV, but cannot detect any other product.
• To check what Security Center reports:
  • Start -> Control Panel -> Security Center
