I have had people contacting me saying there is a virus on my site but I've done countless scans and found nothing...It is all due to the fact that Norton and McAfee are utter garbage.
So I was wondering, is there a way I could add something to detect if a user has one of those programs running and if so to display a message to them about it?
I realize that this is a weird question and the answer very well and most likely is no but I just wanted to ask to make sure.
Detecting a program on a remote computer, Possible?

You could check the client signature of their crawler that scans the site. It may identify them.
