We have approx 15 Win 2008R2 servers running in a Citrix XenServer. &nbsp;We are interested in protecting all servers with one of the malware/virus software that is available. &nbsp;I am of course looking for something good but also something that will impact performance very little. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I would like recommendations of what we should be looking at. &nbsp;Especially considering that the environment is virtual.<br />

Thanks,<br />

Need recommendations for malware protection of virtual servers

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.
