avast! 4 Server Edition is ICSA certified antivirus software to protect Windows NT/2000/2003 servers against computer viruses, worms and Trojans. It was awarded by Virus Bulletin VB100% mark in the last Windows 2000 Advanced Server comparative review.

avast! 4 Server Edition is the most powerful protection to fight virus infections on your server or servers. It works both as a standard protection of a file server, and also via its optional plug-ins as a protection of various server subsystems, such as electronic mail, firewall/proxy etc. The most important features of avast! 4 Server Edition are:

• Antivirus Kernel - award winning avast! antivirus technology(ICSA certified, Virus Bulletin VB 100% awarded).
• Direct Cluster and Terminal Services - ready to work and even supports large cluster and terminal servers.
• Integration with the Operating System - it has been fully tested with all editions of Windows Servers (starting with NT 4.0 and up to Windows Server 2003). It is fully optimized to take advantage of multiple CPUs.
• 64-bit support - it works perfectly even on IA-64 and AMD-64 based machines.
• Resident Protection - it features a powerful resident module that is able to detect the virus before it has any chance to infect your server.
• User Interface - The enhanced user interface gives you access to all the settings of avast!, thus making it possible to fully configure it for extensive scanning. Integrated Scheduler makes it possible to schedule the start of a particular task, both one-time and periodically.
• Notification Manager - Here, you can define notification objects and associate them with antivirus tasks (both resident and on-demand).
• Virus Chest - The Chest can be imagined as a Quarantine area on your disk having special properties that make it a safe isolated place suitable for storing certain files.
• Boot-time scan is performed during the start of the operating system, before the virus can get loaded/activated.

Our true incremental updates are based on iAVS technology and they are available for virus definition file update and for program upgrade.

• Automatic Updates - are another key point in virus protection, both the virus database and the program itself can be updated automatically. The updates are incremental, and only new data are downloaded, thus reducing the transfer time. The typical size of a virus database update is approximately of 20-80kb, the program update usually has approximately 200-500kb.
• Push Updates are initialized by our servers; they result in your computer quickly responding and performing the necessary update.

• MS Exchange Server 2000/2003
