I have never been a fan of using anti-virus software on an Application Server. I am seeing performance degradation on an AppServer using Trend Micro – constantly using a lot system resources especially CPU. Does Epicor have any information or recommendations on this? Personally, I really want to disable it but I need solid evidence to show management to do so.
This is Microsoft’s Anti-Virus recommendations for SQL Server:
Epicor says to avoid it on Servers and Exclude Epicor paths, SQL Paths etc… such as:
Epicor Servers - If you have AV on Server
