You can permanently setup your application to run as an administrator by checking "Run this programs as an administrator" on Compatibility tab on your application properties.

yes i know it but this solution doesn't work

Dave

Why would you need to update a licence every two weeks?

ASKER

because it is not a legal license

Hey spring80,

Why not look for an open source antivirus?

but i think it is not recommended to use this antivirus , right ?
anyone try it before ??

RobertoFreemano

I'm sure there are any open source antivirus equivalents ;)

I used http://www.clamwin.com/ as an example.

Surely using something like AVG,

AVG

is better then using illegal license software?

RobertoFreemano

g4ugm's right.

Surely your company has a department that handles software licenses right?

Dave

Robert,
Yes anything like that. I think AVAST and AVIRA also have free versions...

Avast ,AvG ,avira don't have a free version for windows 2008 server supported.
we have a license windows server 2008 but don't have budget to buy a license for each computer to use antivirus. so i am using for long time ESET nod32 antivirus for the antivirus solution in our company but the only problem is i should log in as domain admin in each computer to insert the new license each 2 weeks , i am searching for a solution for that .
And about microsoft security essentials , is this for server windows version ??anyone try it ??

or i can install the microsoft security essentials in each pc for one time only

Hi,

You can add user in a local system administrator group or you can create a script to run that application as administrator. Then you just need to inform the user to click on that script.

what is better avira antivir or microsoft security essentials ??

Dave

I believe that you install security essentials on client PCs once and then the normal windows update cycle updates it. BothAVG and Avast have similar mechanisms. You do need to monitor and check updates are being applied and that AV is running on all PCs. The latest malware will otten try and disable it,

If you want to be extra secure get http://www.clamwin.com/ and install it on your server and run a daily scheduled scan. If you do this be sure some one checks the logs.

i just installed microsoft security essential in my server running win server 2008 64 bit,and it is worked,what you think about it.
my server is also installed with forefront tmg 2010 which include anti malware.
what you think about my network security.
is it enough?

Dave

Personally I would have a desktop solution as well. I have spent too much time cleaning up after nasties.
