standard antivirus packages that'll work on server 2003?

[xyyz]

while i know it's not the standard way of doing things, what home antivirus packages will work with server 2003?

since these are home servers, i don't need anything fancy, i just something with a good detection rate as well as something that doesn't consume too many resources.

i think i read that CA's Antivirus 2007 works. i was about to purchase it (3 pack license for $30), but before i did, i wanted to make sure by getting some testimonials or recommendations for other products.

Check out www.activevirusshield.com for AOL Antivirus (reallly Kaspersky Lite).

But if you want true speed and a small footprint with a better-than-average-detection-rate spend $40 on NOD32. Nothing beats it.

Another vote for NOD32. Best antivirus software ever.

the standard version of NOD32 will work on server 2003?


edit - according to a page Schadenfroh's thread talks about, apparently it does.

i'll see if i can get the standard 3 pc version for the servers.

thanks.

That's a BOLD claim. Over the last 6 months Eset has been playing second fiddle to Kaspersky and Avira in all credible independent reviews. Not only have their detection rates declined, but their support and ability to add submitted samples has suffered. They are still a great company, but it's obvious that they are facing obstacles. Look how long it has taken them to release ESS to beta.

I think it's more of a trade-off that one takes. I personally find Kaspersky too slow and clunky for the few % increased detection rate. But hey, that's one guy's opinion.

What version of Kaspersky did you try? I am using the latest (antivirus only, real time protection set at recommended) and it is only using 15mb of RAM with no noticeable impact on performance.
