"Based on your experiences with similar setups, can you please
suggest additional ways to provide high (or at least better) AV
protection?"<br>
<pre>
IMHO there isn't better free protection, because sophos or bitdefender are not free anymore.
The sample you sent wasn't detected by my server's first layer scanning (clamav + a lot of free signatures), but it was by my second layer, a paid antivirus:
<i>A virus was found: Trojan.Loader.1017
Banned name: .exe,.exe-ms,REF0000301129930990211_04-2022.exe
Scanner detecting a virus: Dr. Web Security Space
Content type: Virus
Internal reference code for the message is 28360-06/MvR2ELMHFzO3
</i>I bought Dr. Web Security Space for Workstations months ago, it is very cheap comparing with specific server solutions, but if you want a decent protection you will have to pay, maybe paid signatures for clamav or any commercial solution, sorry.
If you find any other option, please share with me.
Best regards.
