Tom, 

What happens if a worm makes its way over to the ISA server and starts
eating away it? :)

I see no reason to put AV on the firewall. How would it ever become
infected? You never run the browser, you never run e-mail clients, you
never run any client software or server software other than the ISA
firewall software on it. You don't allow connections from hosts to any
vulnerable ports either. So, the only function of AV software is to
introduce perforamnce reduction and potential for increased attack
surface. 

HTH,

I can't see why not? I use Trend Server Protect on my ISA 2004 box.

To protect the server itself. Is Symantec AntiVirus Corp 9.0 an
acceptable
solution to run on the machine? Will it interfere with the ISA in
anyway?
