You should be aware that you need the server edition of these products,
and they won't be free. AVG, for instance, specifically states it's free
for personal use only.
All these products have Small Business/Corporate Editions that should
work for you, but I have no experience with those editions.
Since you're not having much luck here, you might want to try another
forum or the vendor web sites mentioned below.

Hi Dollie:

I have used a number of different ones in the past and therefore have a 
decent knowledge of packages. The question you are asking is also 
dependant on the Operating System you are using as some do not work well
in 
Vista. It is also dependant on whether you are looking for a purchased 
version or a free one.

For the free versions you should look at either Avast or AVG. These are 
the two best ones that are free. They are able to update and scan on a 
schedule and their detection is pretty good. If you are looking for a
paid 
solution, I would suggest one of the following: AVP by Kaspersky Labs 
(http://www.kaspersky.com/), NOD by ESET 
(http://www.eset.com)(http://www.gdatasoftware.com/), or (I think it is 
called) G-Data. These I have found to be the best around. I have been 
using NOD32 for a while now and have not been infected once.

The other thing you should look at is what other solutions you will be 
using. A number of options are free and very good. The ones I have
tested 
and used are:
Spybot search and Destroy (Free) with the Tea timer running as well 
(http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html)
NOD32 (paid version) (http://www.eset.com)
Superantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com/) (Free version paid
is 
automated and is only 9.95 US)(I will be purchasing it soon)
Adaware (Free
version)(http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php)
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org)(Free) (Again
paid 
version is automated)

Hope that this helps.
