The Portuguese PFE SQL Server Team, no less, has posted a link to an updated KB entitled “How to choose antivirus software to run on computers that are running SQL Server. Check out the links for further info – here are the highlights that I took away:

  • Exclude directories with .mdf, .ldf, and .ndf files
  • Backup files (I never excluded these)
  • FTS catalog files
  • .trc files
  • .sqlaudit files
  • SSAS files and directories, and backup directories
  • Folders containing processes for SQL Server
  • Quorom drives, and \Windows\Cluster directories


Happy folder/file excluding!
