They are not, and have publicly stated they choose not to be, the best. The stated goal of Windows Defender is to be the minimum acceptable standard for virus protection. You don't have to give any product names (unless you really want to promote something amazing), just share your opinion/experience in general.

I was thinking to maybe just install 3rd party product only on FS and only configure it to scan on write but disable everything else? And just trust WD for all other servers?ītw do you also install AV on your Hyper-V Host? Or just on Guest VM's that run actual servers? Just looking at it seems like it would be a fairly big job to implement same exclusions on a 3rd party product manually.Īnd if you are suggesting to go with a 3rd party, then what are specific recommendations/approaches for different server roles? I guess antivirus configurations and requirements will be different for FS, RDS, DC, etc. I also came across a page on MS Docs with the list of files and services that are automatically excluded in WD to make sure your server and all its services can function properly. I think I agree with those who say that you should have antivirus on a server, but since you have WD already built-in is that enough or do you still go with 3rd party products on top? Either way - can you also give your reasons on WHY you go with whatever you go?

Others say that you should have antivirus everywhere. Some people say not to install it because it will slow things down or can even stop certain things from working altogether. I've been reading about antivirus on servers and opinions seem to split. But then again - what do all those 3rd party Antiviruses have that WD doesn't? But personal computer is one thing and a corporate server is totally different. And now I am not using any additional antivirus on my Windows 10 laptop either.

I haven't been using any 3rd party antivirus on my regular Windows 7 PC ever since Microsoft Security Essentials was introduced for free years ago (had Avast Free or AVG Free years before that). Do you install any antivirus on Server 2016 or do you just go with the built-in Windows Defender? Is WD sufficient enough or not?
