Will the FREE versions of either Avast or AVG run on WHS?

I run utorrent on my server so I fall under the "definitely need" category for a virus checker for my machine...

I'll answer my own question here. I tried running Avast free and it won't work. I also read somewhere else that the latest version of AVG (8.0 I believe) also won't install on WHS.

As a result, I went the Avast paid route. They have a version specifically for WHS and so far I really like it (though it is expensive). The add-in is nice and well integrated into the console. Best of all, it seems to consume much less resources than Mcafee.

I'm an NOD32 only guy. I haven't found a lighter anti-virus and even then I like to just right click the icon and disable real time protection unless I'm on a risky torrent site or I am opening an EXE of unknown pedigree. The right click "scan with NOD32" feature is always handy. I want ESET to bring out a WHS AV. Until that day, I'll live without.

I have comcast and they supply McAfee Security Suite for Free. Is there anyway to use that subscription so I don't have to pay for the McAfee Total Protection service on the WHS? If so, how? :?:
