If you're concerned about server exploits, a virus scanner probably isn't
going to help you very much, if at all. You're much better off using a
host-based firewall to limit inbound and outbound traffic appropriately, and
use something wherever possible to examine that traffic (stateful packet
inspection at your host-based firewall, or a web server input filter, for
example).
