Re: Antivirus for Windows Servers?

£150 is significantly more than I paid for the hardware it would run on!
I'm also very loath to pay so much for something which essentially has to be
the same as the desktop versions which sell for around £30. I'll probably
do without, and scan the disk occasionally from a desktop machine over the
network rather than pay that much. It's only going to be a "training"
machine for myself, rather than a production server.
