Doing a scan may produce some files with the extension although this may
include files that are miss-named
Running something like the following command in Query Analyser should show
the file being used:
EXEC master..sp_MSForEachdb 'SELECT filename FROM ?..sysfiles'

What product are you installing? If it's similar to what we are using, I can
share our configuration.
You could check with the antivirus vendor on best practice when installing
on a device with SQL Server, ask if the software scans open files? If not,
then your data and log files are safe -- at least from the antivirus
software <g>.
Steve|||You'd want to exclude your data and log files. Additionally,
the following article has some guidelines:
