(taken from the title of a document I have from Microsoft) David Lum // SYSTEMS ENGINEER NORTHWEST EVALUATION ASSOCIATION (Desk) 971.222.1025 // (Cell) 503.267.9764 From: Erik Goldoff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 3:05 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: AntiVirus exclusions redux I remember a few years back there was some good discussion on what file types/extensions to block from emails with regards to computer virus threats .... so I've got a small spin ... I'm looking to see what extensions/file types folks are excluding from their AntiVirus software on-access and on-demand scanning especially LARGE file type, that would cause conflict or performance problems like : PST, LDB, LDF/MDF, MDB, DB, DBF , etc So what file types would you exclude, and why ?
