    Free Server antivirus/firewall

    I'm setting up an evaluation copy of windows 2000 server at my home for learning purposes. I plan to alow it access to the internet through the DMZ function on my Linksys router so I'd llike to put antivirus and a software firewall on it. Unfortunatly free versions or worstation copies of software are normally smart enough to know that they are running on a server and will not install.

    Do you know of any free antivirus and most important free firewall software that I can use on 2000 server? Anything is better than nothing so any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

    If you just looking for something simple for at home in a lab situation.

    This is what I use. Its not to shabby, and will get the job done.

    Racing around to come up behind you again.
    The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
    Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

    Norton Anti-Virus 2000 will install on server 2000, I personaly use eTRust from computer associates, when it was free for a trial download (trial does not expire )

    Thanks for the tips guys.

    Securepoint looks nice, but unfortunatly it would overwrite my server install and place a linux firewall on it in it's place. I almost did it too... Kerio does work very well, thanks adept!

    Found a nice link for firewalls at http://www.free-firewall.org/

    Still can't find an AV scanner that I can run for a decent length of time that will install on 2000 server. If anyone has any more suggestions for AV scanners I really would appreciate it.

    I posted this a while back, but the link from Computer Associates still works and it's Windows 2003 ready: Free eTrust Antivirus.

    You can temporarly share the c drive on the server, then map it from a workstation and scan it with any scanner.

    It's not the most elegant solution, but it has worked for me in a pinch.
    Indeterminism. There's nothing you can do about it.
