exclusions for anti virus

  • When excluding database components from anti-virus - is it necessary to remove the sql binaries (e.g sqlservr.exe) from the av scan or is it just database files?

  • we only exclude mdf, ndf and ldf....but thats only us....

  • It depends as i was using MacAfee antivirus and had some trouble sending e-mail out using database mail from SQL machine. I have added exception for databasemail90.exe and sqlservr.exe.
