Alright where to begin. Guess I'll start with the short story and fill in details if needed. I work at a bar where they have the Point Of Sale system installed. They recently got a virus named XP Antivirus 2012. I have done virus removal before and my work new it. Therefore, when they got this virus I'm the first person they looked at. I'm now confident I have removed the virus, and I'm hoping that it didn't access any of the credit card info stored in the system. (I might add that they actually paid for the virus so the charges are being disputed and a new card issued.) I'm not certified and warned them to go to a professional, but they don't wanna spend the money. Regardless, I've gotten off topic.
What brings me to the forum is this, I need advice on what security to recommend. I'm already installing a computer that accesses public wifi so they stop using the main computer to access facebook, ect... As far as an antivirus for a business, I haven't the slightest. I'm figuring they will want a pretty strict firewall, considering the only thing that should be accessing the computer online is the POS system and the credit card companies. Anyone have a clue what I should advise them?
