Requirement 5: Use and regularly update anti-virus software
Although antivirus software is outside the scope of WebSphere Commerce, protecting the servers and network from malicious software should always be a priority for a responsible network administrator. WebSphere Commerce is designed, developed and tested on systems running antivirus software.
During the WebSphere Commerce installation process, you may need to temporarily disable the antivirus software. Ensure you re-enable it before the system is connected to a production environment or begins handling customer data.
Refer directly to the PCI DSS for details on this requirement.
