Antivirus software for point-of-sale stations

This article explains what antivirus software does on a point-of-sale station and how a reseller buys it from G4POS.

In short

G4POS sells resellers antivirus software that they install on their clients’ point-of-sale stations and computers. Antivirus software analyzes a station’s data to detect viruses, block their intrusion or remove them. The JG8000, the DG820 and the DG870GB are Windows-compatible and are protected like any computer.

What does antivirus software do?

Antivirus software is security software. It analyzes a station’s data to detect viruses, block their intrusion or remove them from an infected system. According to the Office québécois de la langue française, it usually includes virus detection software, a virus eradicator and prevention software that acts before infection attempts.

Which point-of-sale stations need protection?

A Windows-compatible point-of-sale station is protected like any computer. In the G4POS catalogue, that includes the JG8000 all-in-one terminal and the DG820 and DG870GB rugged tablets. The store’s other computers are protected the same way.

What should you check before installing antivirus software on a point-of-sale station?

First, check with the point-of-sale software vendor which antivirus settings it recommends for its software. Then install the antivirus software. Finally, run a complete test transaction, including the receipt printout, before you hand the station over to the client.

What is the difference between antivirus software and online backup?

Antivirus software protects the station against viruses. Online backup copies the station’s files to a remote site over the Internet. The two work together: antivirus software protects the station, and backup protects the data. G4POS also sells online backup to resellers.
