  3. Problem and Motivation: • Computers often have more than one anti-virus application installed and running simultaneously. • Anti-virus applications, by themselves, use a significant amount of RAM and CPU resources– multiple anti-virus applications running at once can render a computer inoperable.

  4. Solution • Using the Agent Procedures feature of Kaseya, a system administrator can monitor a set of computers and remove excessive anti-virus programs while keeping a preferred anti-virus program intact, updated and running.

  5. Behind the Scene • A procedure traverses computer’s list of installed programs and collects information about what anti-virus programs are installed. • Deploy preferred anti-virus program if it is not already on the system. • Remove all other anti-virus programs. • Deploy monitoring procedure to report new installations of anti-virus programs. • Repeat 1 & 2 when monitor reports new anti-virus installation.

  6. Customizing the Solution • If recognizing anti-virus program through WMI, Windows XP requires a different namespace than Windows Vista and 7. • Otherwise, no further customization needed.

  7. Disclaimer • Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 are supported. • Mac OS X, Linux distributions and other Windows platforms are NOT supported by this solution. • Anti-Virus software not recognized by Kaseya or the WMI are NOT supported for automatic removal.

  8. Progress Report • Drafted procedure. • Need to know how Kaseya (or WMI) recognizes programs as anti-virus programs.
