What kind of Anti-virus software do I need for a server?

 I have unused licences for Norton Anti-virus 2008 which I have on some PCs and I am going to be putting AVG on some others. Can I use Norton Anti-virus 2008 on a server as well or do servers require specific server anti-virus software? Also are there any issues I need to be aware of when installing anti-virus software on to a server?

How can we manage bookings via the internet?

We are a group of volunteers running a sports facility in Cumbria, we have a website which is very basic. We would like to add a booking/reservation system that could be managed via the internet. This would allow us to manage the bookings remotely. We have the following sporting facilities for hire 2 X Grass Pitches, Astroturf, Conference room, gym and Athletics Track and need to control the bookings.

Can you please advise if there are any ready made applications that don’t cost the earth and what things we should consider before committing any money but more importantly time to the project? The website is hosted by our ISP.

The main driver for this is to make the bookings visable to all the volunteers and treasurer and to have one booking system to avoid confusion / double booking.

Why does my cursor jump when I type certain characters in Word?

when typing in Word, or express, every time I type a punctuation mark such as @, etc the cursor jumps up a line and inserts the typing there. It is very confusing and can get quite messy for touchtypists. It makes typing an e-mail address quite difficult as you have to cut and paste back into the correct position. this is a fairy new problem, it never happened before and I haven't installed a newer version of word. Thanks.
