I don't know if this is correct forum group to post this in but here i go... We are currently using Trend Micro Worry Free Business Security Advanced for our anti-virus protection. I am wondering whether or not we should skip scanning our SQL and Exchange databases? I have already contacted Trend Micro and they informed me that if we were were experiencing performance issues we should skip them, but i am concerned about the virus scanner corrupting the database by scanning the database while its in use. Can anyone help me with what Microsoft's recommendation is on this?

definitelly, it is the best practice to not scan the databases such as SQL, AD, Exchange, CA, etc.ondrej.

Ok, thanks.
