    Based on Wiki's comparison list, Avast and Bitdefender seems to have the most features available for free license.

    Stick with Defender or Symantec Endpoint Protection, and mbam on demand with good firewall rules for your server. Avoid crap made for clients.

    Just my 2 shells.

    uninstalled it before you could say knife. it even asked me if i knew how to ùpgrade`to w 10! as if i want to know!
    i took some time and trouble to explain what is wrong with the stuff, since they asked. no good. not more than 400
    letters allowed. and i needed a hell of a lot more than that.. so; the morale; NOT repeat NOT recommended! just my 2 cents.
    seems the stuff is still running, btw, even after uninstall.. time for a reboot.. ;)

    EDIT:
    winpatrol warned me of new startup, only after i unnistalled and rebooted.. some glass thing.. not on..

    Avast!

    Avast (NEVER INSTALL ANY TOOLS!) works great on old/slow AND new machines!

    After MS dropped the ball on MSE..... Avast! It works AND it's free!

    What about Avast for Business free?
    That is working very fine here.
