Basically what the title says, anyone know of any decent free Anti-Virus programs for Server 2003?

So far tried AVG, Avast and Avira...none of which install on Server 2003.

    There may be free windows anti-virus software that will run on a server but none that I've ever heard of. If you are running a server you have to pay for good anti-virus software.

    There is only one exception that I know of and it's not worth the headache, specially if this is for a business and not just a home office play around setup. You could, in theory setup cgywin and install clam into it.

    If what I just said makes no sense to you then don't even bother.

    There's a Native windows version of Clam, but the system requirements say 'Windows XP or SBS2003"...which seems a little strange, no Server 2003 standard support?

    SBS = Small Buisness Server. Give it a try you should meet the requirements. Never mind I was just checking out the Clam for Win version and saw this
    Please note that ClamWin Free Antivirus does not include an on-access real-time scanner. You need to manually scan a file in order to detect a virus or spyware.

    That would be a deal killer for me in a server env. You want something that actively scans your system.
