As much as I am opposed to the idea, I am leaning towards installing
Norton Antivirus Corporate on all of my web servers.
The question was brought up, that how would you ever know if your server
was infected without some software scanning. My argument to that was if
the server is correctly secured that should never be an issue, but, with
new exploits being discovered each month the chances go up that the
server could be compromised before the patch is applied.

I think it is a necessary evil.
People are finding too many neat ways for things to creep across
networks.

Subject: SOT: Antivirus software on web server
I can remember this topic has been hashed over a few different times
here, over the years. Has the opinions changed over the last year or
so?
Do YOU have antivirus software on your servers?
Do you recommend it on web servers?
If so, what software?
I have in the past been on the side of not needing AV software on the
server. Now I am, and have been for a few months, sitting on the fence.
A few years ago, as a computer tech, I said that AV software is very
good to have at home / office but not nessicry. Now, I highly recommend
AV software on any computer that is connected to the net in the home /
office environment.
