Antivirus for Servers...?

Hi everyone,

My girlfriend runs her own business and has a file server running on Windows Server 2003, linked to four PCs. Can anyone recommend an antivirus product / configuration for the server? She uses avast and MBAM on the four PCs.

Also, will avast 5 be compatible with servers, or is a server-friendly version planned for the future?

Thanks,

The problem is that the server OS will require a server AV and not the stand alone versions of avast 4.8 or 5.0 when released.

The server version of avast isn’t cheap.

Does she uses avast Pro in that 4 machines?
ADNM could allow to deploy the installations. But, a server solution is needed.
The version 5 will be available for ADNM in the future (next year). The server version should be updated also.

Hi guys, I guess I’m just showing my own stupidity, I didn’t realise there were so many server products available from avast… I guess a proper look at the avast website before posting this thread would have been smart. ::slight_smile:
Looks like avast SBS download is what she needs. Thanks anyway for the comments.

You’re welcome, happy hunting.

You could also contact sales (at) avast (dot) com and I’m sure then can help further.

Avast SBS edition is only for Servers running the small business server version of Server 2003/2008. If they are running the Full Standard/Enterprise Server 2003 they will need the full Avast Server edition.

Since she has a few machines, it may be wise to look into one of the Avast Suites. Contact Your Local Avast Reseller for information on the different suites.
