I know it sounds incredible, but …
I am using Windows 2003 Srv Ent 180-days trial at my home (learning before MCP exam) and looking for freeware antivirus. Avast is free for home users (just like me although using Win2k3) and I though I could install Avast but … I cannot do that because of server version of my software system. Is there any trick to install it and dont be a pirat using cracked software which is no prob?
No there is not. You need a server av. And besides, if you can afford a expensive server os like 2k3 you can also afford a good av software.
Ooopsss, I misread something. Didn’t saw you use the trial of 2k3. Does this proove I am human?
Anyway, you should have known this. Read before download. It is mentioned at the Avast website.
You could use ClamAV/WinClam, which runs on W2k3,
but it has no On-Access-Scanner(AV-Shield/Guard), only on-Demand (Email/outlook-plugin is supposed to be coming soon…)
Thx for fast reply,
ClamAV is better than nothing, so … On the other way I think it is a little unfair no to install avast home on honestly speakin’ home computer. I’ll try ClamAV (lack On-Access-Scaner is a big disadvantage these times) and we will see …
It’s not that it’s unfair not to let you install and use the Home edition on your Win2k3 server edition (even if your use of win2k3 is for personal use). avast! 4 Home simply won’t work on the win2k3 OS.
