[WEB4LIB] Antivirus Software for Windows 2000 Server

[Thomas Bennett]

Just found this yesterday and they are offering it free to schools and no
profit orgs.  AVG Antivirus Professional, they also have a free edition you
can load at home and at work as long as both are not being used at the same
time.

Command Anti Virus [CAV] from http://www.commandsoftware.com/index.cfm is
priced very low(or was) for educational use and is updated very often.


AVG Antivirus Reviews:

http://www.claymania.com/rate-avg.html
"updates are monthly but there are sometimes exceptions,
e.g.VBS/VBSWG at MM (Anna Kournikova)
detection was released very quickly, however, in AVG's defense the
Heuristic scanning engine is quite good and
may protect from some newer viruses."

"Split into three sections and a Control Centre, AVG Anti-virus protects
against viruses in a number of key areas. The Resident Shield works in the
background and checks all files and file types (including floppy disk, CD
content etc) for viruses, whilst the AVG email scanner works with Microsoft
Exchange and Outlook to prevent the most prolific of viruses infiltrating
your PC.
The AVG Boot-up Scanner operates at start-up, and checks the most important
areas of a PC before you begin to use it."

"Following the demise of InoculateIT as freeware, AVG Antivirus is probably
the best all-round virus scanner and email protector for which you don't
have to pay."

I am looking for an easy and cheap antivirus software that can be used on a
WIN2000 server.  This server's only job at this time is as a web server.  I
have used the Inoculate products in the past but would like to try something
more geared toward a single web server.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
