The subject says it all. I'm running server 2003 for non-commercial reasons - just to experement with it and learn. So I really don't want to pay the huge licence fees that tend to go with server software licences.

Hi,

Use AVG antivirus also supports 2003 Server perfectly, alternatively you could use their Professional version

AVG does not work on server 2003 no.gif

i tried installing it on my server 2003 and it came up with a message saying that it cannot be installed and detected it was a commercial file server or something

The reason is that the AVG license specifically tells you that you cannot install on any kind of server. Read the EULA next time, please.

realmad.gif hehhe ;] biggrin.gif I been on windows 2000 pro and xp for the past months, but when i did use win2k3 as a desktop it worked fine. I just decided to hit back up win2k3 as a desktop lastnight.... so i re-installed and it works fine. Thats the free version i had on my computer for some time now (months), so im not sure if the newest free version doesnt work, but this one works fine., rofl.gif

ur best bet for a free trial is f-prot if u want it they charge like 30$ for a version that works on ALL windows versions biggrin.gif

i use it and as lons as i keep it updated i NEVER get viri unlike with other "top name" antiviri programs f-prot has NEVER failed me in the mannnnnnnny years i have used it (since the dos versions) biggrin.gif

andy2004
hey thanks for the heads up on f prot works well and its only £16 which is great fro a low spec home server as i got set up. No way am i buying mcafee or symantec rip off for server and btw avg 6 works avg 7 does not no.gif

You could try Clamwin been running it on W2k3 Server ENT for about 4 months now with no problems its free for non commercial use and its quite easy to get on with.
