How to detect it: See the following question: Detect Antivirus on Windows using C#
How to turn it off and on: As far as I know, there is no simple, common way to turn off anti-virus software. And that’s a good thing! Turning off anti-virus software should always be a conscious choice of the user (or the administrator in a corporate environment) and not be something that can be done easily by a third-party product.
