Is there a good freeware AV out there that will run on Server 2003 (WHS)? Most of the free one's won't run on WHS, because it's listed as a server OS.

n/m found this:

"Before leaving this test I tried my NOD32 for Windows which I use on my home PCs and it installed! and worked! WOW. I quick call to NOD32 technical support told me that unlike competing anti-virus products NOD32 will NOT check which platform it is being installed onto."


I'd love to use NOD32 (I own a personal license), but it causes problems with Folding@Home, so that's a no go . So I'll probably use ClamWin.

"free" is a relative term.


just pwn a copy of Norton NIS'09 I've heard it's actually decent this time around.

"free" is not relative, morality is relative.

NIS 2009 for free, let me know, AFAIK, it always requires an upgrade (old AV UPC)

I used to use AVG Free but it seemed to be getting bigger and slower as time went on. Avira has been much better though you do get a pop-up a day with the free version. Generally, both seem to have better malware detection than Symantec and McAfee.
