after some bad experience we had in this area (although some days old) I'd _NEVER_ install virus protection software on a SAP system host again, even less on a database system. AVP products hook up in the file system layer and will prevent the database from accessing the file system since it buffers up all reads/writes/fseeks etc. You'll get strange hangs and errors like you described. If you like to protect the system against worms better try to limit access to the system by configuring the network environment to allow only the ports you need (3200, 3300, 3600 p. ex. if you instance number is 00). BTW this was Trend Micro too we used long time ago and we had to recover the system after a crash - so be warned :-) Regards, SIEGENIA-AUBI KG Informationswesen i.A.
