Anyone happen to know of a decent free AV program that will run on a Windows 2003 server?

AVG by Grisoft I believe works with Server 2003...

Or there is always Windows Defender.

Both are free.

I use my own build of ClamAV. I'm a minor version behind as most windows builds are but it serves my purposes. I'll build the latest version again soon.

It requires much reading of documentation and manual command line configuration for effective scanning, but that is also it's power. My build also uses the clamd daemon where clamwin does not.

I say my build, but I'm just compiling the source from here with minor fixes:
http://clamwin.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/clamwin/trunk/clamav-release-moved-to-git-branch-stable/
well I guess they moved it to git:
http://clamwin.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=clamwin/clamav-win32.git;a=tree

Interesting, looks like I may not have to bother with the clamwin code and will be able to get a windows port from clamav directly with version 0.96:

I've attached my latest build to this post and can supply example uses. Note: it is an on-demand scanner only, thus suited for use on a server.
