Anti Virus Recommendations...
Hello,
My web host is saying that the possibilities of implementing a virus scanner on the virtual server systems are quite limited because of the virtualization technology they use.
They say these programs do run on the virtual servers.
ClamWin
CureIT (Dr.Web)
Windows Defender (only Windows Server 2003)
Signatures for Windows Defender
ESET Online
I'm looking for something that is fast, lightweight and doesn't eat much resources. We're running Windows Virtual Server Unlimited 7.0.
TIA,
Steven

ClamWin is very light on resources; its biggest drawback is that it doesn't have a resident executable scanner, that is, if you run a program, it doesn't live-scan the program before it runs, so any nastiness in it won't get caught until the next scheduled scan runs. It is tiny and works though.

I'm never had much success with ClamAV/ClamWin. I've also used hosts that used Kaspersky and Sophos so they are out there.

You can use windows security essential, or only windows defender. This programs does not use much resources.
