Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could give me a push in the right direction for a project I'm working on. I want to create a tool that checks to make sure the user of a workstation is keeping their workstation secure. Some of the things I want to check for are:

1. Screensaver password is on and the timer is set for 30 minutes or less
2. Norton antivirus is installed
3. Norton antivirus has been run atleast once in the past month

I would greatly appreciate any ideas you all have. I don't know what language something like this should be written in, so include the programming language you have in mind when you respond. Thanks.
