Is it recommended to install Unti Virus on the SqlServer Server?
Which UntiVirus is preferred?

I heard UntiVirus cause SqlServer to have performance issues, Is this true?

Installing an AntiVirus product on the SQL Server is of course what any
paranoid person would do. And there is no harm in it - as long as you
except all database-related files from the virus scan. This includes
both the database files as such as the backups.
