antivirus on seedbox?

Sorry, I think this is still related, how to turn off Windows 2003 web server ? I think leave it open on the seedbox will cause a problem someday

lol. well if your using you box correctly and have a nice tough pass you really have nuthin to worry bout, hell you better off havin ms fook up da server with a update then havin someone hack your server. Anyways worst comes to worst, reflash ftw.

You have plenty to worry about. Bots are constantly scanning IP ranges for boxes with vulnerabilities. If you don't have a firewall, they'll be straight in.

Just like bots trying to brute force SSH logins.

If you enter your password incorrectly (typo), you'll block yourself out?
