Avast!, makers of the immensely-popular anti-virus software, has released the first version of the product to support the Microsoft Windows Home Server operating system.
Currently in beta, avast! WHS Edition provides protection for Microsoft’s latest operating system dedicated to home servers which were designed to deliver peace and tranquility to "administrators" of home networks.
Besides providing the protection of the WHS machine, it also supports simple management of other avast! products on the home network. This is performed directly through the WHS console, by means of a new configuration page.
Again, the product is in beta but is expected to be released in in early November which should be around the same time the first Windows Home Server systems are shipped.
