Yes, we had some serious problems with this a couple of months ago. Software was scanning in real time and causing problems with online redo logs in particular.

We were told we weren't allowed to stop the virus scanning, so instead we just stopped it looking at the directories that held things like datafiles, control files and on line redo logs.

No problems reported since.

Subject: Experience with Virus Scan software of database servers

Has anyone had any experience with Virus Scan software on database servers? We found that after a recent update the virus scan was dominating the server and slowing everything down.
