Default W2K3 Server anti virus recommendations

Hi peeps,

Im after recommendations for a *server* anti virus package for my W2K3 server. At work we use sophos but i dont have heaps of money to throw at it. Can anyone recommend a cheapish but GOOD anti virus package to protect a single server with good regular updates ?

Looking at the grisoft package ? Any good ?

Cheers

Stu

Norton Antivirus 'coporate edition' has always been my best bet....


...although the company recently changed over to McAfee which I think is pants.

Only one worth considering.. Mcafee Virus Scan Enterprise.

We use it with 8,500 Users.

I use SoloAntivirus by SRN Micro, never had a problem with it, and I've found it picks up a few things that norton does not (unless you're using the 'beta' definition updates). Not that expensive either.

Trend has been <ronseal> for us - we've moved away from recommending McAfee to Trend...

Why do trend not need any recommedations??? You think they would run their own software in house
