Nick, Please if you don't know what the standards are, please read: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/security_standards/pci_dss.shtml See Requirement #5. Read that requirement carefully and its not bad to read it twice though in case you don't figure it out from the first glance ! Also, I said that using an AV is some basic thing to do in any company that wants to deal with CC, its a basic thing for even companies not dealing with CC too !!! Or do you state that people must use a BOX with no AV installed on it? If you believe in that fact? Then please request a change in the PCI DSS requirements and make them force the usage of a non Windows O.S, such as any *n?x system. Finally, the topic here is not about "default allow vs default deny" and if I understand what that is or not! You can open a new discussion about that, and I shall join there and discuss it further with you, in case you need some clarification regarding it.

Do you have any understanding of one of the most basic of security issues -- default allow vs. default deny? There are many more secure ways to run systems _without_ antivirus software. Anyone authoritatively stating that antivirus software is a necessary component of a "reasonably secure" system is a fool. Anyone authoritatively stating that antivirus software is a necessary component of a "sufficiently secure" system is one (or more) of; a fool, a person with an unusually low standard of system security, or a shill for an antivirus producer. So _if_, as you and another recent poster strongly imply, the PCI standards include a specific _requirement_ for antivirus software, then the standards themselves are total nonsense...
