AV software recomendations
 

Does anyone know of AV software that works well on W2003 x64 ?

We're currently using Symantec AV Corporate on 32bit servers, but I've had a
look at the x64 client that ships with AV Corp10 and it won't update it's
signatures from the parent server, it has to use Live Update which I won't
work through our proxyservers. In any case the client looks like a 32bit
hack.

Thanks

I have been using ClamWin for about 6 months and it seems to work well.

The best situation here is to contact Symantec Support since you have
invested in their product already. I am sure paid support already comes with
AV Corp 10.

Works great here. PlanetAMD64.com is great place to download things, but
other than that, I avoid it.

Try this page for a list of AV software that works on 64bit Windows:

http://wiki.planetamd64.com/index.ph...virus_software

Just note that they do not differentiate between WinXP and WinServer 2003 it
is just 64 bit compatibility they are listing

Anyone have experience with the beta NOD32 64bit software?

Quite a few and they seem happy with it. Do a search.

Re: AV software recomendations
 

Yes, I do. NOD32-x64 works flawlessly *without* MUI (I'm French), but badly
*with* MUI. So, if you don't need any MUI, you can go with it. Very good AV,
the best of all I think.
