Using antivirus software in any computing environment is a very important security consideration. Unless your operating system is protected from malware, you leave it open to negative and potentially destructive software infection.

However, one of the consequences of running antivirus software is that operating system performance can suffer. There is a balance between an acceptable level of security and an acceptable level of performance, and this varies from one environment to the next.

This white paper discusses the use of antivirus software in a VMware Horizon® 7 environment, and changes that can be made to improve performance without unduly compromising system security.
