anti virusI apologize if this is the wrong group to post something like this, but I am looking for some advice. We have a Windows 2000 Server, hosting a relatively small number of web sites. For several years, we have been running anti-virus software from a well known and popular company, without any issues. Recently we downloaded an update, and it created a significant memory leak, virtually bringing the server to a standstill. (Software is not Norton or McAfee, both of whom have had documented problems similar to this.) When we contacted their support area, we were informed that the software is not compatible with Windows 2K Server. We've looked at AVG's version for networks, which apprarently supports Windows 2000 server, however, we found some reviews indicating that it can create problems with the DNS servers. Since we are doing our own DNS, we would prefer not to run any risks in this area. So I guess my question is, does anyone have any recommendations regarding anti-virus software for Windows 2K Server? Steve Symantec Corp. We use this on all of our networks, and works perfectly.
