I am using Windows 2008 Server as a workstation. Can anyone recommend antivirus software that would work on this OS?

Are you looking for a free solution? There aren't too many free antivirus programs for server products, but if you're willing to pay, all the big ones have server versions of their antivirus applications.

I have two for you which we are using in our data center Symantec AntiVirus and TrendMicro OfficeScan. However, you also have to consider the application you are running on the servers. I have faced some problem with OfficeScan when installing it on a Exchange 2003 cluster node.

I personally use BitDefender 2009 (however it is not a free solution).

This website could be a good resource if you have not seen it already.

Thanks for the link.

I was just looking for something like that.

Symantec Endpoint unless you want some silly flim flam solution, though if you are running 2008 as a desktop you've already started down that path.

flim flam - that actually made me LOL hehehehe

Personally I'm a huge fan of Sophos Anti Virus as a paid solution but not sure what free products are likely to work on Server 2008.

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
