Well, you see, _that_ is abject nonsense on its face. 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...
