Hello Guys,
I am in an environment that have two servers and a new one is coming soon.
1. Microsoft Server 2003 R2 Stranded editions service pack 2 (running sql server)
2. Small Business server 2011 Stranded service pack 1(running exchange and file share)
3. Microsoft Server 2012(we are planing to get and install this)
I would like to know from everyone's experience what would be the best antivirus program to run on these three servers. One of the major thing i am look for is an antivirus that will protect us but will not slow down our system. I heard that Vipre does a good job. We would also like to be able to manage how the software works.
Any Insight or help will be greatly appreciated.

Take a look at ClamAV and ClamWin. It's a free and open source anti virus solution that (unlike many other free versions of commercial tools) runs under Windows Server.One thing it lacks is an on-access scanner that checks files in real time. Guess you can't have it all ;-)

OK, 5 steps.
- Windows updates - This is your number 1 antivirus on Windows
- Windows firewall - If you can't have additional firewall hardware this will do. Just learn how to use it via the command line.
- Backups - Sorry guys, but no antivirus is 100% effective.
- Clam AntiVirus - Nightly updates and full scans of your server with proper email alerts on update failures, virus detections and antivirus software failures.
- Monitor eventlogs and move them off the server- nasty things tend to either show up here or break them. Use one of many syslog daemons available for Windows to move the logs to a remote host.Phew.. The hoops we have to jump though.

- I used the free version of MalwareBytes. It's exactly what I wanted in a virus scanner. It doesn't constantly run in the background hogging resources. You open the application and click scan. It properly removed a few viruses.
- If you are looking for a one time scan the only online virus scan that I am aware of that will run on Windows 2003 Server is Trendmicro's HouseCall.

I was able to load Microsoft Security Essentials Vista/Windows 7 64-bit on a Server 2003 x64. Haven't run it for long, so I don't know yet if there are any issues regarding the platform mismatch, but it seems to install and run happily. Your mileage may vary.
