Hi Aaron

I have a client using their Windows VPS as a remote server. I found that Clamwin seems resource hungry (namely the oladdin.exe) which is for each user running Outlook (and thus the Clamwin Outlook addin) the individual process.

Else for local use, Clamwin has been my AV of choice for years.

Is there a commercial application that is less resource hungry in your experience that suits 3 users concurrently sharing a Win VPS?

Hi Mark,

You could take a look at the free version of AVG, or the commercial version. Also you may want to take a look at Sophos.
