It will slow down your server.

With McAfee, you can exclude the directories that contain oracle datafiles, that minimizes the impact.

Virus checking software is a good idea, in my opinion.

        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?
