For any server, I would strongly recommend NOT using free software, especially not for Anti-Virus. Although there are comparable free options out there, you can make a strong point for updating frequency, paired with support, which usually is relatively important for a server environment.

Then again, that depends on the mission critical useage for the server itself..

Thanks .. understand the consequences but than again this server is not critical and meant for testing only. Cheers.
