I guess that MSE won't work due to it being a server OS?

I used to run it before Windows 7 came out as a workstation - I think I used Avira but I may have had to perform something unscrupulous to get the free version working on the Server edition of Windows.

I just searched google, and I got this link.

Apperntly the MSE can be installed but, no offical support also not recommened.

Yep, I'm currently running Forefront End Protection Client evaluation software (same as MSE) and I'll probably end up installing MSE when Forefront stops working :p

Edit: They both use the same engine and definitions, so it's really a no-brainer.

Sorry if this is out the scope of the thread but, how ClamWin protection is ranked? is there any comparison against other Free AV?

Cheers for the tips (Y)

It's amazing what Google can pull up. And I'm running on a killer hangover, no less! :laugh:

MSE v2 for 64-bit Windows 7/Vista is unsupported but runs perfectly on Server 2008 R2 and XP x64 as well!!

You are running Windows Server on an Atom..

You ought be shot sir.. Shot I say..

My recommendation would be MSSE if you can trust your brother not to be a retard and install stupid stuff.

It's running fine on 3 installs of Server 08 R2 on my servers. I only use it for when we do file transfers from outside the cluster, the rest of the time it's turned off >.<

hmm aspireHome Easystore H340 lulz but thanks. I call it a cheap server ( modified the WHS V1 to make it as 2003 standard edition as possible. ) (removed all the Windows home server software components)

I host my personally website/forums/php/mysql/ftp/ and its a massive file storage system as well as my backup center for all my pcs.

I'm only breaking the entire EULA but what ever. I'll use it how I see fit. and having WHS as OEM is the cheapest server software around. (lin-suk not included)
