Guys, need your recommendation and expertise urgently.
My office's server is unprotected and has been infected by numerous viruses. Can suggest to me which antivirus and firewall to suit Server 2003 operating system? Low on system resources hogging but good all round protection... any? Preferably freeware / trial so I can test it out first... or if it's really good but payware, I will propose to my superior about purchasing it. |

QUOTE(havuk @ Jun 19 2007, 04:37 AM) A server needs one more thing other than Antivirus, Firewall and Antispyware. It needs Host based Intrusion Prevention Systems (HIPS). Examples: huh Novatix Cyberhawk (free) Winpatrol Prevx Blink eEye  ? seriously... what's dat? i thought AV, Firewall and antispyware should be sufficient? |

I also think amongst the free antiviruses out there, Avira is the best. I've used AVG, Avast and now stick with Avira.
For paid antivirus, Kaspersky, ESET NOD and Norton seems to be highly recommended in this forum. |

Not sure whether they have improved in their latest version, though |
