Software on the server will usually notify the network administrators.
I got an alert and went to the clients desktop and made sure it was clean.
By the time I got back to my desk I had another alert.
Seems he reached in his desk and infected it again with something he got
from another
employee or brought from home.
Server side software means only one virus definition update is needed.
Some can also make sure the workstation operating system is patched and
updated.
For example if a person brings a laptop in and connects to the company
network.

I have a client that was told yesterday by some network/computer security
"experts" that they do not need anti-virus protection on their Windows 2011
server because it does not do anything other than file services. It is
attached to the network, obviously, and it does have Internet access. I
have told them this B.S. Any other thoughts from you guys?
Thanks in advance,
