Assessment Script Powered by AISyntax-verified

A standalone PowerShell script to assess this control automatically. Review before running it in your environment.

Syntax-checked as valid PowerShell. Not executed here — running it for real needs the actual windows_7 target this check assesses.

# OVAL Definition: oval:mil.disa.fso.windows:def:5160
if ((Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Service -Filter "Name='McAfeeFramework'").State -eq 'Running' -or (Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Service -Filter "Name='masvc'").State -eq 'Running') { Write-Output "PASS"; Exit 0 } else { Write-Output "FAIL"; Exit 1 }

Remediation
