I'm looking for an Anti-Virus software design for Terminal server. I know there is some software that works on it but only protecting the server it self, not the clients connecting on it.

Thanks in advance

if the server has antivirus and all the files you copy are from the server, then you don't need antivirus right?

A Terminal Services session between a server and a client involves only keyboard, mouse and video data going back and forth so there is really no way for a server-based product to scan the clients connecting to it. In order to provide anti-virus services, such a program would have to have access to the drives and RAM of the client machine and a Terminal Server doesn't.

So I think it's very unlikely you will find such a product.
