snuzzardbuzzard,
Don't bother with VISS Verizon Internet Security Suite. I learned the hard way that it's money down the drain and I only paid for it more over the long run. You're much better off with free virus programs that you can download. I use avast.com and malwarebytes.com. Verizon Internet Security Suite is "powered" by McAfee, but all it really is is a program for which Verizon can get the cheapest bid and its virus definitions are outdated, no matter how often you might think it's being updated. To make a long story short, I had that program for a little more than 3 years and in that time frame, my computer eventually came to a halt so that I could no longer get onto the Internet and even before that, my Internet was slowing down, hardly being the blazingly fast speed which Verizon always advertises. The whole time, the program never picked up any viruses and not knowing what else to do, I went through the phonebook and hired someone privately to come to my house to look at the problem. It turned out that I indeed had viruses and on Internet Explore, the proxy setting was turned on which is something that a virus can easily do by itself. A proxy setting is not a good thing. As soon as those undetected viruses were cleaned out, my Internet went right back into motion at lightning speed and it's been fine ever since then. And since then, I've been much better off with the running the free virus programs once a month, in addition to clearing my browsing history, temp files, and cookies. I never did any of that before but this is important routine maintenance that can save your computer from a lot of problems.
