Think it has to be ClamWin ... for the win!
Especially if it's just for home server use

It seems odd to me that AVG charges per 'connection', I mean, what difference does it make how many people map a network drive?
The requirement doesn't include AV for the 8 PCs - they run AVG free and they're very happy with that.

AVG is easier to administer on 2003 server, than SOPHOS. In addition, SOPHOS had issues with some legacy (DOS) applications, slowing them down considerably. SOPHOS support were unable to rectify.

For home use, ClamWin will run on the server flavours, 64 bit too.
Can't say how good it is yet, as I only downloaded it yesterday.

I know that some of the 'retail box' AV products won't run on Windows server editions. That's all I know!
Follow up, OK AVG has a "File Server Edition" the price of which depends on the "number of connections".
- What sort of "connections" ? Client PC's which map a drive on the server?
Have a look at Kaspersky and Sophos as a possible solution.
