Hello,

We can not recommend third party products.

Here is a link to free anti-virus software --->

le+Search

Whenever, we get a call about a compromised machine we will send the
customer to trendmicro free online scan to perform an online scan. It
appears that trend micro always has the latest pattern files --->

Thank You.

Diana.

| I have been running my dedicated remote webserver without anti-virus
| protection since I leased it 2 years ago. I don't think that it has been
| infected but I don't want to take any more chances.
|
| Can someone please recommend a low cost anti-virus package for W2K Server?
|
| Please advise. Thank you.
