What kind of traffic do you have that you want to scan?

the traffic is only SQL Server data from HO to Branch.
The database server is located at HO and the windows client application is at branch, there is no any shared folder at HO..
Do I need antivirus for this situation?

I need advise

Not antivirus, but if your SQL server is MySQL, you could consider a very nice product called GreenSQL. It is basically a SQL proxy, through which you send your SQL, which is then sanitised against most (or maybe even all) possible SQL exploits.

What I would do (and what I have done in the past) is to have MySQL listen on a port other than 3306. Have GreenSQL listen on 3306 and forward to whatever port MySQL listens on. Have firewall rules restrict incoming connections to 3306 (and possibly 22 for ssh) and preferably limiting the connections to specific IPs.

Of course, this is all moot if you are using something other than MySQL. The fw stuff still applies.

There is no need for anti-virus for sql traffic, although the previous posters suggestion of an alternate port and limiting access via firewall rules / iptables is an excellent one.
