No it does not have it's own virus scan program but there is a lot you can
do to harden the computer to make it more secure including using Software
Restriction Policies as explained in the link below that also applies to
Windows 2003. The Security Configuration Wizard for SP1 makes it easier for
admins to further lockdown there Windows 2003 servers by disabling unneeded
services and configuring the Windows Firewall exceptions. Beyond that you
still may want to use an antivirus program on your servers. --- Steve
