How can a program talk to Windows Security Center?

I would like a program to determine if a user is running a firewall as well
as antivirus, perhaps malware protection. This is the type of thing
reported in Windows Security Center on Windows Vista.

What API or object do I call to have my program get back the status from
Security Center?

Any help is appreciated.
