I installed windows 2003 Server today, however the antivirus (kaspersky) and firewall (zonealarm) which I used when I had XP or 2000 Pro does not work in windows 2003 server. Just wanted to know is there any other good antivirus and good firewall that can work on windows 2003 server?

and where can I download them?


Thanx in advance :)

This topic on Firewall for Windows 2003 has been discussed at *community.sgdotnet.org/forums/20084/ShowPost.aspx Maybe you will get your answer here.

Also check this firewall listed: *www.fx.dk/firewall/windows.html

I use Mcafee Enterprice edition 8.0 for AV
I use Sygate Firewall

All this work without any probs in win 2003......

@Saurav_Cheeta

I use all the software i use in xp and even play all the games that i play in xp... Recently i played Lord of the Rings... Its performance in 2003 was better than the xp...

I use win 2003 as a backup OS incase my xp goes down.... I have changed the looks of win 2003 to imac... Now it is really good......
