McAfee and the others like to limit their software to the workstation versions, trying
to force people to buy their high-priced software. But, there's a way around it.

If you call McAfee, there is a good chance that they will tell you that you need their
one of their multi-thousand-dollar packages. However, they do offer a "MultiPlatform"
version of VirusScan, included in their "VirusScan Security Suite". If you use those
key words -- "MultiPlatform" and "VirusScan Security Suite", you will end up with a
$50-or-so command line scanner that will run on NT/2000 Server and work fine with
Declude. If you want to order online, and have troubles finding it, I can give you
the detailed instructions on how to find it.
