We have SBS 2003 installed on our server with AVAST! for a security

the server software, we have heard conflicting stories. Is it?

Friends don't let friends use software that comes in a yellow box. And I
think you must mean Symantec corporate AV, not Norton (the latter is for
home users).

I think you'll find that most SBS folk prefer TrendMicro. Try their 30-day
eval of the Worry Free Business Security (Advanced) suite.

Actually, Symantec Corporate Edition or Symantec End Point Protection
run fine on SBS 2003 and have no issues. I've used it on MANY servers
and so far we've never had a compromised network/server on any of the
managed clients. I will stick with Symantec Corporate over other
products until I see something better.

For email scanning, we use the Firewall UTM services to remove ANYTHING
that could be executed and AV scan documents at the firewall before they
reach the network.
