Delphi - How to determine the availability of antivirus software?

Question

When antivirus software starts during the installation of my software, some components are not installed correctly. I always tell users to disable it first. But they forget, and then I rack my brains, trying to figure out what went wrong. Is there a Delphi feature that anyone knows about that can determine if AntiVirus software is working, so I can warn the user before starting the installation?
