Is Forefront Client Security suitable for Win2008R2 based workstation?

What security software do you recommend for workstation with Win2008R2 ? I need to protect only this one workstation so there is no need to have tons of features that support managing other clients. Can Forefront Client Security be installed in a way it is client that protects one local machine without installing all server infrastructure? Wouldn't FCS be kind of overkill?

"The Forefront Security Team recently announced in September that Forefront Client Security is compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2. I have written an article on how to set that up:

Insert or mount the Forefront disc.
Open a CMD or Powershell prompt as admin.
Go to the following directory on the disc: \client\x64 (for x86 clients, just go to: ""client"")
Enter the following command: .\clientsetup.exe /nomom
Once it is finished, Forefront will report that there may be an issue or additional updates for the client DO NOT click on the link that will take you to a download page. The downloads it will give you will not successfully install.
Go to Windows Update to get all updates. It will download the latest service packs, hotfixes, and definitions for Forefront.

Enjoy!"
