TFS 2017 anti-virus exclusion

anti-virusteam-foundation-server

Does anyone know if there is an official anti-virus exclusion list from Microsoft that lists which folders and processes should be excluded from anti-virus on the TFS 2017 application server?

This one is for TFS 2015 which I found a long time ago:
Processes to be excluded:

  1. w3wp.exe process present in the location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\w3wp.exe
  2. TFSJobAgent.exe present in the location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Application Tier\TFSJobAgent\TFSJobAgent.exe

Folders to be excluded:

  1. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Application Tier\Web Services\bin
  2. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Application Tier\Web Services_tfs_data
  3. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files
  4. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files
  5. C:\inetpub\temp
  6. D:\TfsData\ApplicationTier_fileCache
  7. C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Temp
  8. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14

Is there such a list for TFS 2017 on-premises server?

If there is no updated list then the list has not changed. I dont believe there has been significant structural change since 2015, so i would go with this list.
