Running Symantec AntiVirus software on SQL Server 2000 v8.00.194

Is anyone running Symantec (Norton) AntiVirus Corporate v9 on a machine that
has SQL Server 2000 v8.00.194? If so, have you experienced any problems. We
are planning to add this antivirus software to our server running eBackOffice
Suite Release 7.2 that uses databases stored in SQL Server 2000.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

First of all, is there any reason why you are still running on build
194? That's the RTM release of SQL Server 2000 without any service pack,
and more importantly without any security fixes. That itself is a big
risk, exposing the server to virus attack such as slammer.

194 is the "buggy" retail release of SQL Server. You should first
consider updating your server to SP3a.
I personally have not had a problem running NAV Corporate on a SQL 2000
box.

You need to upgrade to SP3a NOW. DO NOT DELAY! There are still cases of
the slammer worm affecting SQL Servers, the last one in the media was
reported in Australia last week.
I have used NAV Corp on SQL Servers with success, but I always exclude
the SQL Server data and log file directories.
