And the free version of AVG does not detect Rootkits. (MSE supposedly
does).

My experience is quite different. All of our computer club systems were
infected with multiple malware despite the presence of AVG. It protected
zippo. And in most of the AV tests it is also bottom of the barrel.
Much better options are Avira, Avast and MSE - all free.

I recently found out that TrendMicro do special pricing for non-profits
(churches may qualify despite enormous profits).

WFBS is also very inexpensive, if you qualify for the scheme.

To the best of my knowledge "AVG Free" won't run on a server, which is what
the OP is after.

Yes, Gumby is Correct,

I was Shocked also
Basically when you call Ingram Micro or who ever you buy through
It is a Government/Education Price.

I said what? They said oh yes non profits are covered under this.
I can't remember the price, but it lower than the Standard price..
