I already contacted Trend Micro for their support about this problem in the past. They said "our antivirus is not intended to run in database servers" (may be this politics is not applyable anymore). I contacted Sap guys to ask why "serv.exe" (Trend antivirus kill this executable - that is needed by database) as the process name, and their response (with all reason) that they can't change the name in every new virus that came in the future.
I use other anti-virus solutions in databases, withou problems. Particulary I'm studying the use of Clam AV in Linux servers. I don't have any report to tell you if it works or not by now.

The only solution is to do a > util_release and after that a db_warm. 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.
