How can I tell the “windows security center” that I'm an “antivirus”?

问题

we are developing an anti-virus, I'm trying to find out how can we tell the operating system -windows XP in this case- that our software is an anti-virus. I want that the OS recognize our software as an anti-virus and the security center list it.

回答1:

You have to sign an NDA to get the information. Quoth MSDN forums:

To register an antivirus product:

Must be a member of the Microsoft Virus Initiative.

OR

Must meet the following three requirements:

1. Must have a standard NDA with Microsoft.
2. Must be a member of AVPD or a member of EICAR or must sign and adhere to a code of ethics relating to malware research and malware handling.

3. Must meet independent testing requirements:

   a. If you are using your own antimalware engine, you must pass VB100 and meet at least one of the following:

   • ICSA Labs - Pass
   • West Coast Labs - Pass
   • AV-Test.de – 90% or higher
   • AV-Comparitives – 90% or higher

   b. If you are packaging an antimalware engine from another company:

   • The company who developed the engine must meet the above requirements.
