Hello,
I have one server (with Windows 2008 Server OS)
Now I want to know should I install esp anti virus and also should I configure sth in on my server?

Do you offer me any esp anti virus ?(Because I want to buy new anti virus)

[Alexander]

Hi, I had not heard of that, although I would recommend VIPRE antivirus for server.

I want to know is there any different between server anti virus and client one?

[Alexander]

Client computers are often infected by removable disks, or from the internet which is not the case exactly for most servers. A server is susceptible (and targetted) by rootkits more than client computers for example.

Then there is no different in anti virus,
Can user access to server for anti virus and cleaning their disks? How this can be possible?

[Alexander]

You would need to access the server through remote desktop or whichever method you use to maintain your server, and then run the antivirus client on it to clean the files.

Why?

I do not recommend at all Kaspersky

[Hamed]

What do you think about : Symantec - AntiVirus, Anti-Spyware, Endpoint Security, Backup, Storage Solutions
Which version I should for standalone server!(Windows 2008 64bit)

[Alexander]

If it is a standalone Windows server, I doubt you'd need the server/enterprise editions as those are meant for many of them, you should be fine with the standard home product (and ensure scans are set to do regularily). If you use an SMTP server, the Internet Security edition may be better for you, you'd have to read up if it is compatible.

I think kaspersky will be to annoying for it pop ups alert from time to time. It can also detect even not a virus the security is very high that all programs, application, and websites are cannot be open for it detects malicious virus.
