Commercially I suggest:

AVAST – if its for you personally they have a nice server package with a few client licenses packaged

VIPRE- affordable and used by some of us here on campus for our depts

KASPERSKY- affordable and used by AIS

Not sure if this is the beginning of your server 2008  installation fever, but those aforementioned products can help you out full time.

Subject: [MSUNAG] Win Server 2008 recommended AntiVirus

OK, I'm putting up my first Windows 2008 Standard server.   Does anyone have any good recommendations for a server based antivirus?  More to the point, is there any software I should just stay away from?  This is a very simple server, primarily used for file sharing and a few apps that require Win2008 to run on.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  My thanks in advance.
