    Windows 2000 Server AntiVirus Software

    Hi everyone... Yesterday I got infected with the plan.vbs worm. That's what I get for showing a friend how to download mp3s and then leaving him unsupervised for a few hours.

    Anyways, I got myself Norton AntiVirus 2002 and installed it on my XP work station, and it works like a charm. When I tried to install it onto my Windows 2000 Server, I got the message telling me that it will not work on that operating system.

    I search AO, and found another thread on this topic, but there weren't any suggestions about antivirus software to use on Windows 2000 Server.

    So, any suggestions on what AV software I should use with Windows 2000 Server? Any experiences with AV software on Win2000 Server to share? Thanks!

    you get fast action on new signatures too 24 hrs
    it works with outlook and exchange
    ive compared it to norton and mcafee aganst a bit over 400 viruses I have coloected and it holds its own and is a little faster in some cases then mcafee.
    Ive had no problems so far
    Integrity...loyalty.....and the willingness to make a better world for us all.

    If you want to run macafee on a server you need the special sever edition. Apparently it cost a bundle to. A few months ago the e-mail system at the collage I’m attending went down. When I asked why it was down they said it got a virus. Turns out the didn’t put any antivirus software on the mail server because it cost too much.

    I think this is what they want you to buy.

    Of course if you’re running 2000 server as a desktop computer you might want to see if you can find a free virus scanner that doesn’t have a server edition.

    Here is a page with some info on free virus scanners.

    Also says something about pandasoft being linked to Scientology
    Its not software piracy. I’m just making multiple off site backups.

    I've had a bit of experience with Norton and McAfee software. I'd recommend getting Norton Corporate Edition. It is cheap, and has some excellent management functions when you install CE on the workstations ( I believe it comes with 5 client licenses ). McAfee is indeed expensive.

    And one word of warning, NEVER put non-server edition antivirus onto a sever. There was one time back in the day when I put McAfee, I think it was, onto a server and pow, no more booting.

    Regards,
