Windows Defender Antivirus API

Question

Reading the documentation of the windows defender API, for example in MpManagerOpen Function:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dn920115(v=vs.85).aspx

I see that the required include file is MpClient.h. However I couldn't find it anywhere. Does anyone know where can I find this file, or simply how to use the API without it (without copying the prototypes and structs to my own code), in a C program?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have the Windows 8 SDK? – Lamee

Yes I have the SDK (even windows 10) – Sandie

You have two options: you can either copy the prototypes or you find the files that include them. I copied them from MSDN and it seems to work. I wouldn't recommend using it though, as important parts of the API are obviously undocumented. – Monosyllable

I was looking for that header as well. I found a copy here: https://github.com/hfiref0x/UACME/blob/master/Source/Shared/mpclient.h

Note that URL is broken now. I found another one which currently works: github.com/UldisRinkevichs/libmpclient/blob/… – Menstruate
