First we tried Norton Anti Virus 2 years ago.
It produced horrible CPU-load.
We switched to F-Prot on WIN NT 4 Server.
That went fine.

The reason we installed it on our WWW-Server
is, that people can upload files. (and these might be infected).

But even plain HTML-File can be carrying virusses too.
So I would recommend doing it.
