Crestj 67 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I am looking to get some AV for my Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials installation which runs my Emby server. I run Avast (free) on all my PC's as this does what I need but it doesn't support the Server 2012 OS. I don't mind paying for AV on my server as it's obviously far more important than the PC's! Does anyone have any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crestj 67 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Malwarebytes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That's what I am currently running but I don't think it scans for viruses in real time does it? I know it covers malware, ransomware, web and exploits but it also recommends you run an AV scanner along side it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crestj 67 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 sophos home and malwarebytes Sophos Home says it doesn't install on Server operating systems. Is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyFr79 228 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 You can install MS Security Essentials and it will run on Server OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyFr79 228 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Outside of MSSE you'll be stuck paying for something as vendors figure you got the money to pay for a server OS you got the money to pay for AV protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crestj 67 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yeah I thought about msse but have read its not very effective anymore. I don't mind paying but didn't really know which one to plum for. Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeremyFr79 228 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I've always run MSSE and had no issues, but I also don't go around to sites I don't know or trust either. Sadly these day's most AV solutions are piss poor with the onslaught of viral and malware crap that gets released on a nearly hourly basis.

porkbone 38 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 MSSE and Malwarebytes Premium works great for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
