Norton AntiVirus 2000 lets you pick installation for 98, NT or 2000 all on the same CD. Works very well with 2000, no problems so far.
Another good program is, AntiViral Toolkit Pro or AVP Pro by Kaspersky Labs ( http://www.metro.ch) supposedly AVP 3.0.132 (aka build 132) for Win9x/NT works with 2000 now. I used to use this program prior to 2000 and it is excellent!

Personally, I hate Norton Antivirus. I am a die hard Mcafee fan, and have been for years. It is the most reliable and most frequently updated antivirus program out there. Anyways, Mcafee for NT4 works beautifully with Win2k. No probs whatsoever. So to answer your question, McAfee Virus Scan for Windows NT 4 is the virus scan you should be using.

Anyone know if Norton Antivirus 5.0 works in W2K? I purchased that about a month before 2000 came out, and now I'm hearing I have to purchase an upgrade (but no one has told me that definitively).

Norton Antivirus 5.0 for NT works just fine in W2K. I've been using it for months now and suprisingly it hasn't crashed yet.

If you don't mind throwing in a Win2K-compliant utility suite, OnTrack's Fix-It Utilities 2000 has a built in virus scanner that works like a charm.

I'm tossing in another vote for Norton Antivirus 5. I opened the NT Workstation folder and ran setup. No problems for months now. Later
