    Hyper-V Server need AV?

    Hi friends, I have a doubt... as I understand Hyper-V Server 2008 is a
    lightweight layer of OS who administer all VMs, but if it's in essence
    MS Windows... shoud I install an Antivirus Software to it? or Can I be
    so carefree about Hyper-V Server?

    You should plan to install an antivirus solution on your Hyper-V Server just
    as you would on any other server in your environment. But, if configured
    incorrectly you could have problems with you VM running correctly. The
    following KB article has some suggestions to configuring your antivirus
    solution correctly on Hyper-V Server and Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.
