I am in the process of building new computers for my wife and myself 
and, this time, rather than give my old computer to a deserving friend, 
I intend to build a Windows Home Server with it.  (WHS operating system 
is based on the Windows 2003 Server platform.)

My main question is: do I need to put some sort of anti-malware software 
on the server, and, if so, what would an experienced person recommend to 
be particularly appropriate for a WHS?  (Please note that I am not 
asking, "What is your favorite anti-malware software!" I am not trying 
to start a discussion over this subject.)  Since a server does not 
access the web nor does it download and display email, I suspect that 
some specific packages might be more effective than others.  Or, 
perhaps, no package is  necessary?   Since WHS is relatively new, I 
don't expect that there be any subscribers that have had much experience 
with it, but, perhaps, experience with Windows Server 2003 could carry 
over?

Also, any advice or suggestions on how to effectively set up and use a 
WHS would be  welcome.

While WHS is supposed to be easy to use, I have a six hundred page book 
that I am  reading on how to set it up, use it, and troubleshoot it!
