My standard list of files for exclusion are .dbf, .idx, .cdx, and .fpt. With both Norton and Symantec (corporate) AntiVirus it makes a tremendous difference in performance. Also, with the Symantec Corporate AntiVirus solution I set it to not scan any files on mapped/network connected drives/files. I leave it to each machine to scan its own local files, whether called by a local process or from a network connected machine. There are some other Tricks Of The Trade I use as well. For more info feel free to connect as an "anonymous" user to my ftp Server at: gilhale.dnsalias.com (browser address is ftp://gilhale.dnsalias.com), then navigate to the directory named: "\Software\SymantecAntiVirusSetup_Corporate_v-10Plus" In that directory are several Word .doc files. The one covering my configuration suggestions is named: "v10.0.0 Part 2 upgrade to v-10.0.1 steps.doc" (I use slightly altered with later versions of SAV, but the approach is the same). You are welcome to download any of the documents in that directory, but this is the one I feel will be most useful when it comes to performance related matters. Even if you use a different AntiVirus solution than SAV, there may be some useful tidbits here and there to make them worth the read. Be certain to not connect in ftp Passive Mode, as that results in real slow connections and downloads. Ciao!
