It's a matter of choice but - 95 % of virii/worms spread through mail (Outlook|Outlook Express) on the _frontend_, not backend-/database systems - the other 4,99 % can be avoided through denying acces to the RPC ports (13(5|7|9)) from internal hosts but those who have to - We don't run frontend applications on servers (not even SAPGUI since there were cases where SAPGUI DLLs interfer with application server binaries; it MAY work but in error situation you're somewhat lost) I really see no need to install an AV product on such a system, what do want to protect against? And believe me, it indeed does slowing down systems. For Linux the most AV products are based on file access too but they don't hook up something between the I/O-layer so here you'd probably be safe.
