I use VIPRE on all my workstations and servers.  Despite being 32-bit, there is no perceptible performance hit on the six servers I run with 64-bit Win2003.

Subject: [MSUNAG] AV for 64-bit WinSvr 2008


What are you using for antivirus protection (AV) on your 64-bit MS Windows Server 2008 non-Exchange boxes?

ESET and Windows Defender do not have 64-bit versions available.  Symantec and Kaspersky say they do, but I have read that the apps are really 32-bit so you get a performance hit.  The only one I've found so far that is supposed to be a native 64-bit app is Outpost.  Have you used Outpost?  What do you think of it?  Do you know of any other native 64-bit AV products for WinSvr 2008?
