I recently built a Developer Workstation using Windows 2008 R2 Server for my primary use at Home. Now, unable to locate any anti-virus products for this server OS. Can you please recommend a free/paid anti-virus product for Windows 2008 R2 Server (x64)?Thanks & Regards, Kamlesh | Blog | Twitter | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi Tiger Li, When I run this setup on Windows 2008 R2, it gives me a dialog box indicating: This program has known compatibility issues. Microsoft Forefront Client Security has a known compatibility issue with this version of Windows. [Check for solutions online] [Run program] The check for solution button does not provide any solution. Do you advice me to go ahead and try the Run Program button?Thanks & Regards, Kamlesh | Blog | Twitter | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi Kamlesh, Thanks for update. Based on my knowledge, there are two parts in Forefront Client Security , server and client . According the article below , it does not support installing Client Security server components on Windows Server 2008 R2 host, client part does support.

Hi Tiger, I stopped the installation as it gave compatibility issues. I can give a try to continue the installation with compatibility issues and see the result. As per the Technet blog, I should get an Windows Update to fix the compatibility on Win2008R2. Let me try and see.Thanks & Regards, Kamlesh | Blog | Twitter | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
