  • Anti-Virus for server?

    For the desktop please don't use Norton. It's the worst.
    I recommend AVG or Avast - Both are free and they are good.

    norton is one if not the best now. it's changed a lot over the years and is extremely reliable now.

    Norton has been solid for me for the past 2 years. Using it on all my devices

  • On desktop, I kind of use Windows' default Windows Defender.
    On laptop, I have Cloud Panda.
    On server, for Windows is Norton and Linux is Common Senses Antivirus lol

  • I used to use business.avast.com until they wanted $80 something a month for all of my 48 devices I use(some are my customers in my side computer repair business some are mine) now I got a deal with a longtime reseller I got my first avast! endpoint protection plus license long ago from that now gave me bitdefender gravityzone advanced business security licenses,

  • Kaspersky is one of the best and is quite cheap too.

    If you really believe this, get rid of your computer.

    The whole antivirus industry is useless.

    Keep your software updated, use some common sense.

    For people who know what they are doing sure, but what about those who do not? For them antivirus is a must!

    Not really, antivirus software is nearly useless nowadays.

    Or even worse than useless.

    You could not be anymore wrong, and not know it. Malware isn't flashy, hides, etc etc..

  • gestiondbigestiondbi Member, Patron Provider

    Eset works well.

  • pbgbenpbgben Member, Host Rep

    I'm an ESET reseller, if your looking for paid solutions.

  • None of these antivirus solutions work; what you need is McAfee™ PC Lagger Updates at the wrong times Defender!

    Sadly for end user it's still really valuable

    You are not looking at the bigger picture mate

    You should look into a Sophos UTM.. other than that there's a few options, trend Micro, eset, avast business.

    I personally prefer Sophos and Trend.

    It's free for home use but you still need hardware to run it on, that said the XG85 looks reasonably priced except other than broadbandbuyer (Who are literally doing it as a box shifter so you are stuck with the options on their site) I can't find anywhere that wants to sell one unless you are a big business.
