    Ok,

     

    My question is this.  Out of the box does this server have any virus/spyware protection or will the home user need to purchase a virus solution and intstall it?

    Right now there is no AV/spyware protection, and I doubt the software-only "system builder" version will have any. It's possible that OEMs that preinstall on their own hardware (such as HP's MediaSmart Server) will include at least a trial version of some product, but I haven't seen anything in the press.

    Various people have reported success with a number of third party products. I have Norton Corporate installed personally, but there are less expensive products available.

    AVG antivirus requires the server version. See this thread for more information on AV products that appear to work with WHS, and do a search for antivirus as well, because I know there's been much more discussion than that.

    Do you think the AVG free software would run well?  Personally, I am trying to keep the cost of the WHS low, especially during this testing stage.
