ClamWin will probably work on your Windows 2000 server. I know that it is still used on Windows 98 computers, with a glitch now and then. It is not designed for servers, however, and if you look on the forum, you will see that users in a networked environment have had problems with it--primarily in false positive detections of "good" system files, which has zapped the system and caused lots of work to restore things. There was a bad such incident about a week ago.
A suggestion: look at Microsoft Security Essentials. I read a few days ago that Microsoft is allowing it to be used now by organizations with up to 10 computers. It is a good antivirus and has a very low false positive rate, and it is free. I do not know if it will run on anything prior to Windows XP, however. If you use ClamWin, I suggest you configure it to Report Only for infected files--do not Quarantine/Remove them. You can set it to send an email notification to someone when there is a detection. You might also take a look at the Clam Sentinel (a separate project) add-on, which enables you to use ClamWin as a real-time scanner and also has some heuristics to detect new malware. The Sentinel site is at https://sourceforge.net/projects/clamsentinel/ on the web. Regards, |
