Viruses are things you can get by downloading false programs and all sorts of other things. They steal information from your computer and email people in your email contacts and send the virus to them so over 300 people get the virus. Anti viruses dectect the virus by scanning and a warning will come up saying Caution a virus has been detected or something like that. You never want a virus. Especially Trojan horse or malaware!

What is the best free antivirus for a server?

There is no such thing as the "best antivirus". It is all based upon your personal preference. Also, since new viruses are coming out every day, antivirus companies are struggling to stay one step ahead of malware authors. No one antivirus program is going to detect every virus, partly due to human error in analyzing the virus and software bugs. If you need an antivirus program and don't want to spend money, I recommend downloading MalwareBytes, which is a free anti-malware program and it is VERY effective.
