Considerations when using antivirus software on ISA Server

Exclude the following folders and all subfolders:
  • %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft ISA Server
    (also %Program Files%\Microsoft ISA Server\ADAMData)
  • %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$MSFW
    (also %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$MSFW\Binn)
  • %WINDOWS%\adam
  • %Drive%:\urlcache
  • %Drive%:\ISALogs
Note: there are two typos in the following section in the original Microsoft article:
Excluding the ISA Server Processes:
  • dsmain.exe should be dsamain.exe
  • sqlsvr.exe should be sqlservr.exe
