Anti-Virus on web facing servers??

["Jared Rowling" <rowlingj () stedwards oxon sch uk>]

A hardware firewall is a good guard, when configured properly, but I'd
say it's a good idea to run up to date Anti-Virus software on any
server.

If it's a web server you may not want to run any heuristic scanning as
that could affect performance, but a scheduled scan when hits are low
would provide peace of mind at least (especially as it's Windows)

Jared
