It is computer configuration 101: write or execute. Directories 
that can be written, and the files in them, can never have 
execute privileges.

At worst, your database will crash due to errors caused by the 
virusscanner locking files, files will be wiped out due to a 
virus scanner incorrectly identifying files as virusses or you 
might even loose complete mailboxes. I am not going to prove that 
now, I think I have proven that sufficiently in the past:
