Dedicated Server Security

[Ledawolo]

Hello, Cannot install av beacause it says its not the right OS version.

Is there any program designed for dedicated server security?

ur OS ?
i don't recommend u to install antivir because it will only lag ur computer better install on home computer antivirus and scan files there ... but i recommend u to install firewall.

I would suggest clamwin, it takes extremely little ram and doesn't slow down anything since it has no real-time scanner, but it does offer the option to scan your files.

i'd suggest running your OT on linux, if you have that option u hardly need to run anything

yea, but much more difficult to use.

Also linux can be a horrible security issue if you don't know how to use it properly, my friend had a linux server and he barely knew anything about linux, he just installed a distro suggested by a tech-savy friend of his, and that same month his ISP canceled his account because apparently someone hacked into his linux PC and used it to hack other sites and servers.

So yeah, linux is way better than windows when it comes to stability and memory usage, but it is way harder to manage and can be a BIG security risk unless you know what you're doing.
