Thanks Matt,
I'm in a similar situation where this server is not part of my internal network so the only people who would connect to it would be myself and a couple of clients via FTP. I do have a couple of web apps for recruiting clients where their candidates can upload resumes via a web form, so I want to make sure that these docs are scanned as they hit the server.
Interesting point though that you make about mixed scanners on servers and clients. It sounds like you like Symantec for you server scanner, but you like it even more as a client scanner. If you choose to use it for your client solutions, what would you recommend for your server in that particular scenario?
Thanks,
Dean

I use Symantec Corporate for my real-time server scans. I like it because it is easy to manage, but my servers also don't have any users attached to them besides myself and some clients that FTP to their Web sites. I'm a proponent of mixing virus scanners on network servers and clients. Symantec Corporate is a killer desktop solution because of the manageability, and if you go that direction, I would put a different vendor on the servers just so you have the protection of two completely separate solutions.

I'd really recommend a different vendor as a real-time a/v to provide another level of security.----- Original Message -----From: Dean LawrenceSent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 7:29 AMSubject: [Declude.Virus] AVG
I am looking for a new virus scanner for my Windows 2003 server and was wondering what all of thought about AVG. This is both a web server and my mail server (imail) and I would be looking at it to be both my full-time file scanner and act as a secondary Declude scanner (I already am running F-Prot). If you like it and would recommend it, which version do you use? Would it be the file server edition?Thanks,Dean
