I am agree on 100%, for last two years using WS2K8 x64 Standart and this new one - R2 ( from 2-3 months)with their security policy i have no significant virus issues. Some little adware and malware problems but nothing that can block system at all - i mean is treatable.
Just for example - i'm not using antivirus software because by my opinion they are too angry and hungry for system resources- i mean memory and cpu time, sometimes with some of them even hdd shows enormous activity.For the purpose of antivirus cleaning i'm using online check or sometimes make installation for 1-2 hours - just for checking...
Most important regarding security is tight browser i think.

Does anyone know if GData Internet Security 2010 is working on Windows Server 2008 R2? :?:

ESET NOD 4.2 x64 can work in Windows 2008 R2

But you need to use windows 7 activator before install nod

Please remeber you doing this for you own responsability and when you think to active you windows 2008R2 using win7 activator you lost access for Server mangament.
This is just olny a my test and for me work fine.

Its not about crack etc... just when you use activator from win7 system will be always detect like windows 7

PC Tools Internet Security 2010 seems to work for me. I am now in the process of updating the list.

EDIT: The list is updated except for the items that are left on the Security Software page of the manual.

Strange...Ive installed EAV without using any activators on clean Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. Works fine for me.

BTW: we are talking about ESS or EAV? And what a strange version 4.2 - both ESS and EAV have current version 4.0.467.

Installing Avira AntiVir Personal Edition on Windows Server 2008 R2:

1.) Start –> Run –> Regedit
2.) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE –> SYSTEM –> CurrentControlset –> Control
3.) Now change the permissions of the folder “ProductOptions” –> add your user account (for example Computername\Username) and deny yourself the read rights for the whole folder. Be careful not to deny the whole rights for all administrators or something like that (I tried that first cause of a black out and it leads to windows not being able to boot).
4.) Now you should be able to install Antivir PE

In case you want to revert the permission settings just log to your administrator account. Here you can again grant your user account full rights for “ProductOptions”.

Program Name: Avira AntiVir Personal Edition
Website: http://www.freeav.com
Compatible: yes, with a hack
Issues: installer throws an error saying the product cannot be installed on a server OS
Fix: http://expertester.wordpress.com/2008/0 ... orkstation (scroll down to comment #2; article is about Server 2008, but the workaround described works on R2 as well)

I have a problem: the guard does not work, even when I try to start it manually? Avira is the best free antivirus out there!

Odd, it worked just fine for me. Do you get an error or anything when starting Avira? Are the related services (Avira AntiVir Guard and Avira AntiVir Scheduler) started and startup type set to Automatic?
