More Windows 2003

From the comments to my last post on Windows 2003:

I agree that the guide was good.
Theres still one hiccup i have. and that is virus protection. Yes yes, with all the security 2003 brings its close to unnecesary, but if you are using at as a workstation then you are open to attacks that wouldnt normally be applicable to servers, e.g. email-viruses etc.
I'm actually stumped here, the usual vendors Mcafee, Symmantec still do not a product for 2003. Best bets would be CAI or PandaSoftware which at the moment I am not sure whether to trust or not.

Virus protection.  Yeah, no one technically has a product for 2003. 

Update: Check out eTrust (thanks, Dan!)

But I use Norton's (Symantec's) Internet Security.  So far it has worked perfectly for me.  I've not yet had to use the compatibility mode for anything, but from what I hear it has solved all of my friends' problems.   

Here's another article with a few tips and a review about it as a workstation.
