I have Windows Server 2003 Web Edition and Norton Internet Security. I tried to install Norton on my machine but it said that it doesn't install on Server machines. What software can I get that will install on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition?

It doesn't seem like the web edition should have that limit. Wonder if the norton site offers a work around.

I wouldn't run the firewall on the server myself in your case. I'd look at a hardware and/or linux software solution. The makers of industrial grade firewalls charge too much in my opinion for the smallest users like the web edition. I just don't know of an inexpensive solution via a 2003 installed software.

For sure you do need some sort of AV and firewall and use the power of 2003 to protect the system.

Well, I did my research on this. It's Norton Client Security that will install on Window Server 2003? I tried to find this all over the city where I live but came up short. Supposedly, I can buy it for around $85 which includes 1 liscence, but appearantly Symantec has pulled it off all shelves of virtually every retail venue. The only place I can buy it now is from their website. The problem there is that they won't let anyone buy it unless they purchase a minimum of 10 liscences, and this brings the price up to around $800. I CAN'T AFFORD THAT!!! Is there any alternative internet security software out there. The minimum requirement that I need are that it scans regularly for and prevents downloads of viruses, runs on Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, and is affordable (below $400). Is there such software?
