whitebread Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 What is the best antivirus to use on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1079913-windows-server-2008-best-antivirus/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 If you are going to use something, I'd say TrendMicro office scan. However I think MS's stance is, you shouldn't be running AV on any type of server, especially with AD/Exchange.

Nope, MS has their own AV engine which is (kinda) equilivent to MSE but for servers, it's forefront and it looks pretty good.

Well if someone must run AV on the server.... at least tweak it for these suggestions - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822158 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1079913-windows-server-2008-best-antivirus/#findComment-594889795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Supervisor Posted May 31, 2012 Supervisor Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hello, It just got renamed to ESET Endpoint Antivirus. However, there's a specific version just for Windows Server OSes called ESET File Security for Windows. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky ESET NOD32 Business Edition IMO.
