  Hi,
  
  I'm running Symantec Endpoint Protection v11 on my WHS.  It installed fine and seems to be happy.

  But......is this actually protecting my WHS properly?  I can't see that it supports WHS specifically, and I'm reading everywhere that the different file structure requires different anti-virus support.

  It's not supported by MS.  Whether Symantec supports it or not, you would have to check with them (my guess is they don't).

  If I can not/should not use this, what should I use?  I keep reading about Avast - is this still the best option?
  
  

  The only WHS-specific A/Vs are avast! (which is what I use) and F-Secure.  (Plus the HP MSS comes with a version of McAfee, but I don't know if you can get it otherwise.)

  Is there any free option?
  
  

  None that I know of.

  Thanks for any help given.......

  Hello
  
  I looked also for a free option but could not find one.
  
  Avast is installed on mine and works great for the last year. While not free is reasonable. look at the family pack as I did. 10 Lic. for your clients and 1 for the server for about 80.00 a year or less. I bought the 3 year and have all 4 PC's protected.
