Acer Aspire EasyStore H341 SAAS McAfee not supported

Hello I have a Acer Aspire EasyStore H341 with Windows Home Server build 5.2.3790 software version 1.50 (0953.005).

I have used this without fail until this week where it says that McAfee SAAS is not supported on this server anymore (as of June 2, 2013). I have used this only as a server and only though the remote login, and even only briefly played with putting in add-ins.

Is there a new virus scan for this product? Is there an update that this server has not downloaded that could allow it to remove the McAfee virus scan in it's place or can I put any virus scanner (for example I have a copy of Norton 360 with a left over pc I could add on.

I am very good with most Mircosoft version, yes even Windows 8 (ugg, takes some getting used to, but ok now) but very limited in the WHS area.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I believe that the information you may be looking for is posted on the McAfee page regarding support for Windows Home Server.

Windows Home Server is limited with respect to virus protection, as software does not install as it would on a normal PC.

Unfortunately, I believe that you will run into the same issue with any "major" anti-virus programs all being end of life, as Windows Home Server was phased out of production. ( see Microsoft Support Lifecycle page: http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?LN=en-us&p1=12624&x=10&y=10 )

Is there a replacement for MacAfee that I can install on my Easystore with WHS 2009 to protect it from viruses? Can the whole system be upgraded to a new version of WHS? Documented instructions would be helpful.
