Should I install anti-virus on Windows Server 2003

windows-server-2003-r2

I had previously installed AVG in Windows Server 2003, but now the installer says that Windows Server 2003 is not supported, while AVG runs perfectly on other Windows Server 2003 machines of mine.

I have only found Clamwin to be a decent free anti-virus for Windows Server 2003, although people widely complain it is horribly slow.

Should normal Windows 2003 Servers even run anti-virus?

Yes absolutely! There is different perspectives you should keep in mind when choosing and configuring the AV. E.G. guidelines for choosing AV for Windows servers running SQL: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309422
