"""
Description:
This script checks for the presence of vulnerable software configurations on the user's machine
in relation to the CVE-2021-44228 vulnerability. It compares the list of installed software on
the system with a predefined list of vulnerable software configurations associated with the CVE.
If any vulnerable software configurations are found, it displays a warning message to prompt
the user to take immediate action to mitigate the vulnerability.

Requirements:
- Python 3.x: The script is written in Python 3 and requires a Python interpreter of version 3 or higher to run.

Usage:
1. Run the script using the command `python cve_2021_44228_apache_log4j.py`.
2. The script will verify if any vulnerable software configurations are installed on your machine and
   provide instructions for mitigation if necessary.

Functions:
- get_installed_software(): Retrieves a list of installed software on the user's machine.
- check_for_vulnerabilities(): Compares the list of installed software with a predefined list of vulnerable
  software configurations and displays a warning message if any vulnerable software configurations are found.

Important Notes:
- The predefined list of vulnerable software configurations in this script corresponds to the CVE-2021-44228 vulnerability.
