Antivirus for Windows 2008 Server

[RedDem0n]

I just bought a dedicated server package which is in the process of being setup. The website I have usually sends out around 10k-20k emails every night. All legit verified opt-in emails. The dedicated server allows me to select from multiple optional software to have installed and setup free of charge. From the volume I will be sending out, plus during business hours staff members are sending emails out every other minute from 8am to 8pm I was wondering what you guys would pick as far as software for my situation and what is best from your experience.

I will be running Coldfusion 9 / MSSQL Server 2008 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 Dedicated Server with 4gb Ram, 1500gb HD, and Intel Xeon 3110 (Dual Core)processor. Site receives 7-8k hits per day and emails coming in and out ranges around the 10k-20k mark in a 24 hour period, sometimes more but very rarely.

My question is - What Antivirus is popular for a web server? Free would be great, but if there is a industry known one for a webserver, I would like to know your opinion on it.

You can install ClamAV (FREE) and ESET NOD32 (PAID)

For Windows servers you can get the Windows department to set up DrWeb 5 or Kaspersky AV (Trial).

Forget about Free ClamAV and Paid Nod32 (you will pay for worst performance), I suggest You Kaspersky at least you'd know for what are You paying. Dr web isn't bad at all but sometimes it can't handle with new threads.

Have you ever used Nod32 on a Windows 2008 server?

Clamav is good.

I use Kaspersky on our business server where I work. Really good and nothing to say about it.
