Good to know. Since it's a troubleshooting tool there's no real problem
with saying "First, go install powershell" - but it'd be better not to
need to if it's available via wsh.

There's no guarantee they won't try to hide, though. AV software vendors
may think it's a good idea to make it hard for software on the machine
to tell what AV is running. I'm hoping not, but it's quite possible.
