Is it possible to get the Norton AntiVirus status on PC using Java? For example last updated date, current status like active or inactive, upcoming update date a开发者_运维知识库nd etc. Is it possible through java?

The answer most likely to fit your question is: No.

The more sophisticated answer is: Maybe - with a lot of effort.

Let me explain this: There is not direct way of accessing the AntiVirus status using any kind of Java API, so that's why the quick answer is not. However, you can use Java - like any other language - to load the contents of files on the filesystem (or check their existence). So if you can determine the status by looking up any kind of file related information from the system the answer might be yes.

But anyway - I don't see for what you would need that information.
