Are you STILL on windows Rik ?

Rik · Aug 26, 2009, 16:59:24

I'm on something, just haven't worked out what.

David · Aug 26, 2009, 17:02:38

is it contagious ?

Rik · Aug 26, 2009, 17:15:00

Only if you stand still...

David · Aug 26, 2009, 17:24:54

Better run a scan just in case

Rik · Aug 26, 2009, 17:25:51

Definitely, MRI or CAT?

Best feed it first though

See, even you're getting the food bug, Glenn.

I have my first DR Ribeye waiting to be cooked later

Rik · Aug 26, 2009, 17:37:07

We had ours on Monday, Glenn. It seems, to me, it benefits from being cooked in a flat pan, rather than a griddle, that brings the flavour out more. Enjoy...

Getting back on topic

As the F-secure AV I'm using on my Home Server is due to run out in a weeks time I'm currently trialing the WHS version of Avast on my server and the Pro version on my second machine.

What's your reaction so far, Ray?

Sebby · Aug 27, 2009, 13:44:46

I was actually looking at AV for WHS the other day. I think Avast seems to have the best reviews.

Seems to be working fine in both cases so far, Rik, does seem to use more memory than Nod32 but cpu resources appear to be very similar. One thing I do like about it if you have it running on the server and installed on other machines you can monitor and control those from the server console.

Rik · Aug 27, 2009, 17:20:45

That sounds useful.

Ray, how did you get Avast to install, each time I try it, I get told that it's the wrong version and I need at least NT with SP4 installed? This is where I downloaded it from http://www.avastuk.com/avast-pro-family-pack.html

Hopefully Avast WHS is better than it was 9 months ago it was a resource hog then for me , F-Secure had very little effect on WHS overall performance.

I downloaded the Pro version from this page here Glenn, and it installed with no problem.
