Set antivirus file exclusions for database log and tempDB files

Real-time antivirus scanning at the file level can occasionally cause abnormal system behavior, like high CPU utilization.
You should exclude the following items from real-time scanning:
  • The
    ffmpeg.exe
    file.
  • The IIS Temporary Compressed Files folder located at:
    %SystemDrive%\inetpub\temp\IIS Temporary Compressed Files
    .
  • The SQL MDF database and the LDF log files.
