My clients run a mix of Microsoft Security Essentials and Immunet with ClamAV, and I'm running cwRsyncServer as rsyncd for use by BackupPC. I realized that the rsyncd service is likely causing an AV scan with each file access and that's a big performance hit on the client as it searches the whole disk for file changes. I see that I can add rsyncd.exe as an exception to the AV but doesn't that just prevent the scan when loading the rsyncd.exe file? What's needed to make file accesses by that program immune from scanning? (I expect that this answer will be different for every AV, and it would be useful to know what other AVs do, as I might switch AV products to facilitate this.)
