[Other] Inexpensive antivirus for Windows Server 2008?

I am running 64-bit Windows Server 2008 on my laptop, as it is basically "Vista done right" - faster, more reliable, and less bloated. I am currently not running any antivirus program on it, because all the popular ones I've looked into want to suck your bank account dry for "server" versions, i.e. $500/year and up. The lower-cost "home" versions won't install at all on Server. Are there any free or low-cost, effecive antivirus programs that will run on 64-bit Server 2008?

I, too, have been playing with Server 2008 as a workstation. I assume you have seen this website?

If so, you might have noticed their link to this page:

Nice link, that second one! If you follow a few links from there you'll find a nifty "how-to" for
installing AntiVir on a Win2k8 server. This makes me happy.

Yikes, wish I had known about that web page before I installed the OS! Lots of good info there. Thanks!
