Hi Dapi, I have seen Windows system running Oracle have problems with running anti-virus software. i.e. if you were to actively scan all files that are changing you could protentially corrupt some of you data files as well as severely limit performance. In my last company we told customers that we would not support their database unless they excluded the Oracle directories from active scanning.

Do you exclude the Oracle directories from active scanning? Just the data directories, or do you also exclude the Oracle software directories including the trace file directories? Just curious.
