Best Server 2008 AntiVirus / Protection Software
Just setup my server using MS server 2008. Looking for input on the best overall protection software. I usually am a McAfee person but they say they don't support 64bit opearting systems yet. Any help would be appreciated. Needs to support Exchange for viruses/spam/etc. Would also use it as a client product.

To correct the above - Exchange 2007 does NOT have any built in AV protection. It has Antispam built in, but some find it a little limiting.

"MS Forefront is a product that won't cause any conflicts but won't catch all virus or spyware. MS is a little behind on AV"
Can you share some information about this comment? I have implemented FCS at a few clients and I haven't heard any singles issue like this..

Three years ago MS was a little behind. However things have come a long way.
Forefront is based on Sybari Antigen, which was considered the best Exchange AV software.
The MS AV definitions are considered very good now. They are the same definitions used for OneCare and the new free AV software which is getting very good reviews.

MS Forefront for Exchange is a good product. I do not argue with that.
The MS Forefront for client security has been an issue for me many times. My personal experience is that MS forefront has allowed viruses on the client side to come through that McAfee and AVG have caught.

From my experince Forefront is a very good product. You need to make sure you have a tight FCS policy inplace.
ss6766,
My recomendation is to evaluate Forefront in your lab.
