[dba-Tech] Server anti-virus?

I've just found a pretty good deal on Ebay, and parted with some cash... so I'm getting a nice shiny Dell dual core 2.4 Xeon machine with 1gb ram and 80gb hard drive for around $175. I've got server 2003 to put on it, and I am going to play with WSUS, possibly exhange (as it comes up in my MCSE course)... but what I really want to know is what anti-virus solutions are available to me? I'm using Vipre on my desktop, but ideally I'd like something different on this, just to pick up whatever Vipre may miss.

Who (if anyone) does a free server AV solution, and will the free version of ZoneAlarm work on a server OS?

I've also managed to pick up a nice 5 port 10/100/1000 netgear switch for $30 on Amazon, so that'll speed things up around the house nicely :-)
