Should you I run Antivirus software?

[nbarsotti]

Hello,
I am trying to get a consensus if it is a good idea to run antivirus software on a Starwind server? Please let me know your thoughts or current setup.

Yes, you can do that. However, please bear in mind, that anti-virus can create a big load on the disk system.

So I would advise to run anti-virus on the application server, using real-time scanning.
