I have been advised by Verizon that I no longer have virus protection. Previously was on both Verizon and AOL. Aol provided the protection until I discontinued AOL. Does VerizonYahoo provide Virus Protection along with the firewall.

I am not sure if Verizon offers antivirus or not but I can tell you that you can get a free anti virus that is pretty good from AVG.
It is at this link:

Take the MSN Premium option from Verizon.
Verizon w/ MSN Premium will provide you free:
McAfee VirusScan
McAfee Personal Firewall
Webroot SpySweeper
along with some other nice non-security stuff like Microsoft Digital Image Suite. And you don't have to use the crappy MSN Browser, either.
About a $100 a year in free security software, a great deal that I have had for years.
The only virus protection that Verizon itself will provide will cost you $5.00 a month and is not worth it.
BTW. some have suggested that you use AVG... DON"T. AVG has horrible virus detection rates.
Good luck.

You can sign up for Aim which is owned by AOL. Get a free mailbox and you will be able to use their free Virus protection. Good luck.

AOL had a bad run a while ago, but I think they are OK now. Yahoo have an anti virus but I think you need to down load their toolbar. one toolbar (Google) is enough and as he said AVG free is as good a scanner as most people need

I would go with AVG free, that has great virus protection.
