Anyone know the registry keys to read to detect if OnAccessScan is enabled
or disabled?

If not a key, maybe in a file? Or is there some way to connect to the
application itself and tell?



I know it is likely to change from v7.1 to 8, but should be similiar I
would think.

Thanks

It looks like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\McAfee\VSCore\On Access
Scanner\McShield\Configuration\bDisableScanning

On 8.5i I can not change that key or disable the OAS, however on 7.1 I
can change the key, but it does on affect the status of OAS. It must be
something else...

I need my script to check the status of OAS also, as users tend to
disable it where ever they can.

I guess no one knows how to do this... I have not seen it done before.
I would think that one could connect to the automation object similiar to
this:

Set ObjNA = WScript.CreateObject("naPolicyManager.PolicyProduct")

but not sure how to get the information out of there..
