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?

RE: Hyper-V Server need AV?

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.
