AntiVirus Product Recomendation?

[Timothy Madsen]

Any suggestions on a good antivirus program to run on a Terminal Server?

We currently have a Terminal Server on NT - but it is in the process of
being moved over to Terminal Server on W2k. We have some users who use this
is their primary workstation (they are remote users) - such that we would
like to get an antivirus package on there - but I am concerned about
installing a non-terminal server aware package on the TS.

Also - I don't want to install a regular "server" anti-virus package -
because I would like "workstation" features such as scanning of Outlook
email attachments. Sure, Terminal Server is actually a "server" - but the
applications on it - and the use it receives - often times makes it look
more like the usage of a "workstation".

We use McAfee exclusively at our workplace - but I don't think (but not
sure) that McAfee has anything which is specifically made for the Terminal
Server. If I was aware of another product which worked really good for
Terminal Servers, I would be able to justify making an exception on the
antivirus package for the Terminal Server (ie - as opposed to using McAfee).

Any thoughts and/or recommendations?

Thanks.
Tim.
