I'm looking to see what extensions/file types folks are excluding from their AntiVirus software on-access and on-demand scanning especially LARGE file type, that would cause conflict or performance problems like : PST, LDB, LDF/MDF, MDB, DB, DBF , etc So what file types would you exclude, and why ?
