I've sorta been against this in the past, ASSUMING that our clients have up-to-date AV software on them. I don't care for the idea of AV software on a server being setup for "On Access" so that everytime someone accesses/reads a file, AV checks it. Especially on ANY server that has a DB such as Exchange, SQL, MSDE, etc. Any reason I should change my mind about that? Do you typically install "On Access" AV scanning on all your servers?
