Windows 8 went back to Windows Defender and it still doesn't work for server 2012 sadly. Guess no av for me.
What was the other Microsoft av? 8/2012 switched back to the other one
Id love to have av on my 2012, uninstalled sep crap already
As far as I know, there's only MSE:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security-essentials-downloadThe only choice really is whether you need 32bit or 64bit.
I know they have some different versions, like Forefront, which is made to run in large enterprise setups (runs in client/server modes only, no standalone client installs). MSE is purely a standalone client that can be used on any of Microsoft's OS products. Should work on anything from Windows XP and Server 2003 on up through latest Win 8 and Server 2012 versions.
Ah, just realized they renamed it back to Defender for Win 8/2012. Same thing, different name. Only thing is it's already included in Win 8/2012.
So MSE download is for everything back to Win XP, but not for Win 8.
