Thanks. &nbsp;But I don't think MS Security Essentials runs on Server OS's. &nbsp;

Hello,<br />
I am looking for an anti-virus software that will run on Servers (Windows 2000, Windows 2003, SBS 2003, Windows 2008) as a stand-alone. &nbsp;Updates handled on each system via Internet. &nbsp;No central server putting out updates that to manage. &nbsp;Individual installs are fine. &nbsp;These are servers that are in a variety of locations and domains. <br />
<br />
Any recommendations? &nbsp; Just about everything I've seen so far is too bloated, and requires a central server as manager. <br />
<br />
many many thanks,<br />

Standalone Anti-Virus Software for Server

Anti-virus software was originally developed to detect and remove computer viruses. However, with the proliferation of other kinds of malware, antivirus software started to provide protection from other computer threats. In particular, modern antivirus software can protect from malicious browser helper objects (BHOs), browser hijackers, ransomware, keyloggers, backdoors, rootkits, trojan horses, worms, malicious layered service providers (LSPs), dialers, fraud tools, adware and spyware. Some products also include protection from other computer threats, such as infected and malicious URLs, spam, scam and phishing attacks, online identity theft (privacy), online banking attacks, social engineering techniques, Advanced Persistent Threat (APT), botnets and DDoS attacks.
