Best AV for Windows SBS 2003?

DoubleCheese · 17 May 2010 at 12:30

As above, just need a decent AV for a small office with less than 10 PC's connected to a Dell server running SBS 2003. Any ideas?

Thanks.

i've been very pleased with eset nod32. very lightweight, a nice central update feature which doesn't require a fully blown remote admin tool to be installed, and they also do a plugin for exchange which is quite nice on an sbs box. i put it in for an office with approximately 20-30 people, and haven't had any grumbles with it at all really. also google for a list of stuff you should exclude from scanning in an sbs environment.

Been using AVG Business Edition on a few SBS Boxes. No compaints.

Is it just me, but why don't these companies advertise the price of these products? They all seem to offer a signup and free trial but to get a price you have to signup and get someone to call you?

eset do? website: purchase > buy > business edition. gives options for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 licenses, with cost differences if you buy a 1, 2 or 3 year license? for both the full suite, and also just the av on its own. when we purchased they also had a web chat where someone gave us a 30-seat eval license for a month, if your happy and want to continue with it they just convert the license for you and away you go. i was really pleased with the whole process to be honest.
