The answer most likely to fit your question is: No.
The more sophisticated answer is: Maybe - with a lot of effort.
Let me explain this: There is not direct way of accessing the AntiVirus status using any kind of Java API, so that's why the quick answer is not. However, you can use Java - like any other language - to load the contents of files on the filesystem (or check their existence). So if you can determine the status by looking up any kind of file related information from the system the answer might be yes.
But anyway - I don't see for what you would need that information.

In my company decided to maintain the PC status. Thats why its required. Is it possible with any other language? – bharath Apr 01 '11 at 13:47

I doubt it. If there were an easy possibility any virus could simply check "is antivirus software installed?" and if the answer is yes simple perform some kind of "hidden" action. I'd try contacting Norton and ask them how to integrate that logic. – Christian Seifert Apr 01 '11 at 14:56
