+# Recommended Antivirus Exclusions
+
+Antivirus software can take a long time to scan directories and the files within them. Additionally, if the antivirus software locks files or directories during a scan, those resources are unavailable to MiNiFi processes, causing latency or unavailability of these resources in a MiNiFi instance. To prevent these performance and reliability issues from occurring, it is highly recommended to configure your antivirus software to skip scans on the following MiNiFi directories:
+
+### MiNiFi Java:
+
+  - content_repository
+  - flowfile_repository
+  - logs
+  - provenance_repository
+  - state
+
+
+### MiNiFi C++:
+
+  - content_repository
+  - flowfile_repository
+  - provenance_repository
 
 Review comment:
   This should be reserved for the MiNiFi C++ codebase/docs.
