If you define "none of them works"...
Not compatible with windows 2008 r2
you can get microsoft security essentials working though
I find that hard to believe............they probably just told you that you need some sort of 'pro' version to install on a server...
you can try panda antivirus or avira.. they work great
Forum members says not working:

Thank you will try them
You need to run server edition of antivirus software regular one does not work on Windows 2008.I tired to run avast regular one it did not work so i tried avast server edition and it worked well but it is paid i ran 30 days trial version.
ESET works on server 2008
Microsoft Security Essentials with NOD32 would work the best.
Microsoft Endpoint Protection 2012 works fine on 2008R2
You can get the client “for free”, by simply downloading the Trial version of the entire Microsoft Endpoint Protection 2012 suite (trial refers to the Server Application).
To install System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection on Windows Server 2008R2 proceed as follows:
Download Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager and Enpoint Protection 2012 SP1 from the following address:
Extract the archive using a util such as 7Zip
Extract the “CLIENT”-Folder from SC2012_SP1_RTM_SCCM_SCEP.exe into a temporary location.
Browse to the CLIENT folder with Windows Explorer and run “SCEPINSTALL.exe”.
Follow the installer Prompts and you’ll end up with a fully featured Security Solution courtesy of Microsoft.
as @slowdive said.
Microsoft Endpoint Protection 2012 is not MSE although it looks very similar. MSE is meant for desktop OS, MEP is the server equivalent.
