Virus / Spyware Protection

[Guest Lee]

I am looking for a good affordable spyware / virus protection for my 3 x64

servers, I am open to suggestions. I looked at Microsoft's ForeFront product

but it seems to be mostly vapor ware at this point. Let me know of your

reccomendations.

Forefront Client Security is full product at this point, and does well on

Server. But it's way overkill for 3 servers - FCS is more appropriate for

locations with large client deployments where what you really want is the

great monitoring and reporting tools.

 

There's lots of choices out there. Since these are servers, I don't frankly

see the point to anti-spyware - you shouldn't be surfing or doing email on a

server. ;) But I personally like the MS Anti-spyware, though others probably

have choices they'd prefer. Most seem to work well on 64-bit, since they

don't have a file-system driver.

 

For A-V, I like Nod32, AVG, and Trend. All work on x64.

I use Windows Live OneCare. You can purchase a copy which covers three

computers for a 1 year period for $15 including shipping on ebay.
