I agree with Paul Taylor…Avast is great and has a family pack that includes a copy of WHS anti-virus and I believe 10 individual copies of the Professional version for clients for 79.95/year subscription. Plus, you can try it for I believe 3 months free and they are Win 7 compatible.

I highly recommend you use Bit Defender 10 Free Edition. It is made for Windows Home Server Editions as well as Vista/XP etc.

Wow, Scott… let’s try it this way.
How about you READ the article next time, then post. Perhaps you’ll not post something so idiotic then. This post makes no mention of KAV for WHS… in fact, it’s pointing out AV packages that work with WHS that AREN’T made for it specifically… NONE of the packages above are made for WHS. That’s kinda the point of the article… since WHS is a mangled Server 2003 install, products that work on Windows Server (note the lack of HOME in the middle) may work just fine. The problem with those solutions is that they are targeted at the users of Windows Server, namely businesses with IT departments. That usually means they can charge more for it since you’re dealing with someone with important data to protect and deeper pockets to pull from than the average man on the street.

You need to get all the facts before you started posting stuff … here is a quote from Don over at KAV posted on 3-1-2009 “It’s simple, when there are enough potential in this market there will be a version released, but untill the development costs can be justified there won’t be:

There is no KAV for WHS .. Research this stuff before you post it or get a new line of work…..
