Re: [NF] Free Antivirus for Win2003?

I recommended PCTools Threatfire because we have it on at least one server. It is anti-virus and spyware protection. You

can schedule full system scans.

However, we use Avast on most servers so I would probably select it over the others. We have no experience with Comodo.

Thanks guys,

Current shortlist now changed.

Worth a try:

Avast

Comodo

Not going to bother with:

ClamWin - no real time scanner, manual scan only

MSE - does not work on Server

PCTools Threatfire - not really an antivirus, something extra which

sits on top of traditional antivirus.
