Programatically determine the status of AVG AV running or not

AVG Protection

Hi Team,
 I would like to know what are the things that i need to consider while checking whether AVG AV service is running or not. Installed AVG AV Business edition version 16.161.8039 trail version.
I am working on a code/script to determine whether AVG AV is running on a windows machine or not. In order to do that what are the things that i need to check in my code ?
1) Are there any registry keys that will say the status of AVG AV running status?
2) Are there any files that i need to look for AV running status?
3) What else i can check for to get the exact status of AV ?
4) Is just checking the AVG servicename (AVGIDSAgent) is enough ?

Help is very much appreciated.
