I hosted my sites on win2k server. I tried to install norton and panda antivirus products. but all of them gives error, they said that "you can use it only workstations" Will you please help me? Which products correct for me

regards

The only one I know for sure that works on 2000 Server is McAfee's NetShield.

Sorry if this is ignorant, but is it necessary to run AV on a web server if you keep the security patches current? I have been diligent about that, but don't have an AV product installed on my Win2K server.

eTrust InoculateIP works on W2k Server.

Security patches and virus' have nothing to do with each other ;)

People can still upload virus', have their web pages infected by virus' etc.....

Having things like aspupload on your server(s) also needs to be watched....

Anyway...a good *free* package is AVG anti-virus, excellent package, as regularily updated as Norton et al. and best of all *free*.......yes thats right.....something for windows thats free! :stickout

I found that product here: http://esd.element5.com/product.html?productid=502847&language=English&stylefrom=502792 and as you can see its not *free*. Its only $38 though, which is pretty good. The free version that they offer is not made for 2000 Server.

The free version works fine with server....the fact that its a win2k server instead of a desktop is irrelevant....

Obviously if you want to scan all incoming eMail you'll need a different solution....iMail AV is pretty dear but probably worth it in the long run!

Cheers,

We sometimes use F-Prot which works really well, it's command like DOS which allows the intergration into other programs (Mail Servers, etc) a pretty easy task.
