Avast antivirus

Hi,

I use AVast antivirur (free) for the PCs in my house. I have just installed WHS and it won't work. Does anyone know how I can get it to work or an alternative Free/cheap antivirus for WHS.

Hi Glen,

Did you try the Avast beta version for WHS or one of the regular versions?

I've had no problems with it so far. If you haven't got it already you can grab it from here

Cheers.

Thanks Matt, it was the normal version, I didn't know there was a WHS one

I only stumbled onto it myself by accident. Seems pretty good, centralised management, deployment of updates from WHS, logging etc..

Cheers,

Matt.

Do you know if the release version is planned to be free?

It looks like there will be a charge for the WHS component, but it will control the free version on your desktops/laptops so that will keep the cost down at least.

Cheers,

Matt.
