If you're using Windows OS, then yes, antivirus is strongly recommended. This is because the code for Windows is open to Microsoft only. In Linux / Mac, this is less of an issue, but at least some form of protection is good.

Now, for what to use. Antivirus is a highly personal decision. Some use Comodo!, some Microsoft Security Essentials, some others. Personally, I've found that Comodo Antivirus! Also, you may find that a program like CCleaner will keep your computer running smoothly by deleting unnecessary cache files.

What is the best free antivirus for a server?

There is no such thing as the "best antivirus". It is all based upon your personal preference. Also, since new viruses are coming out every day, antivirus companies are struggling to stay one step ahead of malware authors. No one antivirus program is going to detect every virus, partly due to human error in analyzing the virus and software bugs. If you need an antivirus program and don't want to spend money, I recommend downloading MalwareBytes, which is a free anti-malware program and it is VERY effective.

A standard antivirus program primarily relies on signature-based monitoring methodology, which involves identifying known malware by comparing files against a database of virus signatures. Additionally, many antivirus solutions incorporate heuristic analysis to detect previously unknown threats by analyzing file behaviors and characteristics. This combination allows antivirus software to provide both proactive and reactive protection against a wide range of malware.
