We run a Virus Scanner on our NT Server that houses an Oracle database with no issues. The only problem I have every seen is where a bug was in one of the downloads to update the virus information and it messed up everything from PCs to the Exchange Server. You may not want to put servers on automatic updates.

Our NT Server admins have been told by the Security department that they need to install virus protection software on the NT / Oracle servers. Does anyone know of any problems between Oracle and any virus software?
