Norton anti virus on Sql server

As part of the Security Initiative, Our security team wants to put
Anti-Virus protection on All Sql server database.
Is it good a practice to Install Anti Virus software on Sql servers?
Has anybody installed it on their production system? Any issues with it?
I appreciate your answer.James,

I certainly would.No compromise, even when the server is not connected to
internet.
>>Any issues with it?
Exclude the SQLServer files - mdf,ndf and ldf etc from being scanned.Also,
whenever you are doing any setup from a recognised media, make sure to stop
the AV service and turn it back on when you are done.
