Subway reaches agreement for antivirus software

News

MILFORD Conn. The Subway franchised sandwich chain, based here, has approved for use for the point-of-sale systems in more than 23,000 U.S. and Canadian restaurants ESET NOD32 Antivirus software, according to ESET.

"Subway franchisees depend on the POS to work at optimum speed, moving customers quickly through the line. Therefore, it is critical that each of these machines is not hindered by malware that can slow or shut down systems," Marina O'Rourke, Subway director of retail technology, said of the impetus behind the agreement with ESET.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus is an integrated security application that proactively detects and disables viruses, spyware, adware, phishing, rootkits and other Internet threats, sources at San Diego-based ESET said. They said the software has not missed an "in-the-wild" virus in Virus Bulletin VB 100 testing during the past nine years, while producing only one false positive in that time.
