Using Anti-Virus Software on a Player – Knowledge Base

Question:

Do I need to install any Anti-Virus software on a PC I will be using as a player?

Resolution:

No, we advise you do not install any Anti-Virus software on a PC intended for playing Digital Signage content. As long as typical security procedures have been taken there is actually little risk of your computer getting a virus. Also most Anti-Virus programmes will slowdown playback of the content, especially between page changes. Ultimately, you may decide to install security software on the player but we would recommend trying playback with and without an Anti-Virus software installed for testing.
