From: BrianB on 9 May 2010 10:55 I support a church with not much budget and too fancy a network. I have two servers (SBS 2008 and Server 2008) and several clients. The clients all have NS Essential Security and as such are fairly protected. But I have nothing on the servers. What would you suggest for the servers that does not cost an arm and a leg? The servers are used for fire sharing, Exchange, and SQL Server. I can get decent prices through TechSoup.org, but I don't know which products to consider.

From: Ozirus on 9 May 2010 13:11 AVG Free is the best free anti-malware. 'AVG Free - Download Free Antivirus and Antispyware for Windows 7, Vista and XP' (http://www.free.grisoft.com) It's better than most programs that you could purchase. -- Ozirus [image: http://www.sevenforums.com/signaturepics/sigpic51688_7.gif]
From: Milhouse Van Houten on 9 May 2010 15:21 AVG on the server was terrible the one time I encountered it, though it wasn't the free edition so there were far more "modules" running, causing several subtle or blatant problems. With protection on the clients, you might want to give the server a break and run without antivirus on it. Unless the server is also being used as a workstation, and I assume it isn't, it'll be fine.

Techsoup carries symantec endpoint protection. That is designed to run on a server, is not terribly expensive, you can pick up licenses for the client machines as well so you centralize your control, AND it is light on system resources. Generally I don't recommend AV products, because in reality they all do a similar job (if one was a drastic failure *OneCare COUGH* then it doesn't survive the marketplace. They are all good, and the interface is a personal preference thing. I'm breaking my rule this time because of techsoup. They don't carry the breadth of choice, but knowing what they carry and finding the "right" product can be tough from their site. So here I am, actually making a recommendation. SEPP 11.0 with enough licenses to cover your clients. -Cliff "BrianB" <brian.notthis.bygland(a)boeing.notthis.com> wrote in message news:uyKNae47KHA.1888(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > I support a church with not much budget and too fancy a network.
