Hi,
Just one Short question ... Is it necessary to protect a ms VPS via software? If yes what Software do you use?
I have a Windows Server 2012 VPS, don't want to run my own hardware 24/7
Microsoft Security Essentials seems not work (official statement from MS) or it is not supported!
And there is just a lot of buying Software.
So I try BitDefender Free even if it seems not supportet (official) as well.
It's just for my demo account for a real EA Test under live conditions with MT4
Yes it is necessary. I don't have a VPS. I've used ClamWin on a Server and Microsoft Security Essentials on Workstations, I have read that MSE will also work on some servers.
What kind of security risks are there if you only have MT4 and never use or install anything else..?

54.68% of all threats and ranked 37th out of 49 products tested; the best scored over 99% | ClamWin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

The only gate for the virus is the remote desktop, firewall and the MT4. IMHO the antivirus will not do better job than the up-to-date firewall.

I recommend to ask first to your VPS provider, your system is running as a virtual machine on a server, ask them which software you can install without break it.
More than antivirus you need: firewall and maybe anti-malware.
Okay,
the vps provider called me. he says it belongs to what you are doing with your vps.
you need a antivirus if you receive documents p.e. if you run an email server.
in this case he recommend software from MS.
if you don't change documents or files you don't need a antivirus system.
the agent don't know about mt4 but in my words i would say for a only mt4 installation it's not necessary
