Does Windows Defender have a network installation

[Coomer]

I am looking for a Spyware program that is server based. I would like to use
Windows Defender, but do not se a server based Installation. Is Windows
Defender able to be setup for this type of support or is it a PC only install.

Hello Coomer,

For enterprise use, the Microsoft product incorporating antispyware
functionality and designed for automated deployment and management is
Microsoft Forefront Client Security.

I would recommend that you have a look here

I hope this post is helpful, let us know how it works ºut.

Microsoft has two other products that incorporate the same protection
afforded by Windows Defender.

Windows Live OneCare is designed for home users or small networks--I would
say 25 users or fewer.

With SBS 2008, there will be a server based OneCare product which will both
protect the server and manage the clients.,

I'm not certain about the situation without that server based product--in a
home user situation, you can designate a single node of the three on a
license pack to see the Defender-related health conditions of all three
machines. Something I saw led me to believe that in a domain, this number
may be expanded to 25, but I haven't yet tested this configuration.

For larger networks, Microsoft Forefront client security is the appropriate
product.
