symantec antivirus corporate
Symantec, McAfee, Trend and many others.
If its going to be a domain controller or an Exchange server there are a number of scan exclusions you should add to avoid performance and other problems.

I've used Trend and love it (super easy to deploy on a corporate environement - no brainer), but at work we sell Kasperky (which is rated in the top 3 of the world), but harder to setup and get the feel for.
But if you got time to learn it, top product and liturally about 25% of the time, when we upgrade the users anti-virus and run a full system scan, it'll find something (this was pretty amazing when we started to use it).
Top ten products:
Symantec is a good name product, but it almost never makes it on the top x lists.
A lot of people dont know about these. Also look at the MS artical linked at the bottom.
This is from the McAfee site but the exclusions are the same for most AV products. If your just using the server at home on a small scale its not too important but on a large scale it matters.

Solution
The following list is files and folders that do not need to be scanned. These files are not at risk of infection and might cause serious performance issues due to file locking, if included. Where a specific set of files is identified by name, exclude only those files instead of the whole folder. Sometimes the whole folder must be excluded. Do not exclude any of these based on the filename extension. (For example, do not exclude all files with a .dit extension.)
IMPORTANT: This article contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For information about how to back up, restore, and edit the registry, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article .
Active Directory and Active Directory-Related Files
Main NTDS Database Files
The location of these files is specified in the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\NTDS\Parameters\DSA Database File]
The default location is %windir%\ntds. Exclude the following files:
Ntds.dit
Ntds.pat
Active Directory Transaction Log Files
The location of these files is specified in the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\NTDS\Parameters\Database Log Files Path]
The default location is %windir%\ntds. Exclude the following files:
EDB*.log (the wildcard character indicates that there may be several files)
Res1.log
Res2.log
Ntds.pat
NTDS Working Folder
The location of these files is specified in the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\NTDS\Parameters\DSA Working Directory]
Exclude the following files:
Temp.edb
Edb.chk
File Replication Service (FRS)
The location of these files is specified in the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\NtFrs\Parameters\Working Directory]
Exclude the following files:
FRS Working Dir\jet\sys\edb.chk
FRS Working Dir\jet\ntfrs.jdb
FRS Working Dir\jet\log\*.log
FRS Database Log files
The location of these files is specified in the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\servic es\NtFrs\Parameters\DB Log File Directory]
The default location is %windir%\ntfrs. Exclude the following files:
FRS Working Dir\jet\log\*.log (if registry key is not set)
DB Log File Directory\log\*.log (if registry key is set)
Staging folder
The location of these files is specified in the following registry key and all of the Staging folder's sub-folders:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\servic es\NtFrs\Parameters\Replica Sets\GUID\Replica Set Stage]
The current location of the Staging folder and all of its sub-folders is the file system reparse target of the replica set staging folders. The location for staging defaults to %systemroot%\sysvol\staging areas.
The current location of the SYSVOL\SYSVOL folder and all of its sub-folders is the file system reparse target of the replica set root.
The location for SYSVOL\SYSVOL defaults to %systemroot%\sysvol\sysvol.
FRS Pre-Install Folder
The location of these files is specified in Replica_root\DO_NOT_REMOVE_NtFrs_PreInstall_Direct ory
The Preinstall folder is always open when FRS is running. In summary, the targeted and excluded list of folders for a SYSVOL tree that is placed in its default location would look similar to the following:
%systemroot%\sysvol Exclude
%systemroot%\sysvol\domain Scan
%systemroot%\sysvol\domain\DO_NOT_REMOVE_NtFrs_Pre Install_Directory Exclude
%systemroot%\sysvol\domain\Policies Scan
%systemroot%\sysvol\domain\Scripts Scan
%systemroot%\sysvol\staging Exclude
%systemroot%\sysvol\staging areas Exclude
%systemroot%\sysvol\sysvol Exclude
NOTE: If any one of these folders or files have been moved or placed in a different location, scan or exclude the equivalent element.
DFS
The same resources that are excluded for a SYSVOL replica set must also be excluded when FRS is used to replicate shares that are mapped to the DFS root and link targets on Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003-based member computers or domain controllers.
