Verizon Yahoo! for FiOS offers free email AntiVirus protection and computer AntiVirus to help protect from known viruses that may enter through downloads, file sharing or CDs. Many virus protection software products will remove dangerous email attachments, should you try to open them. Verizon Yahoo! for FiOS takes virus protection one step further, by helping to prevent known viruses from even making it into your inbox in the first place. With Verizon Yahoo! Anti-Spy, you can identify and remove unwanted programs on your computer — programs that may be serving you “pop-up” ads, tracking your online behavior and even slowing your computer’s performance. You will also have the option to install a free Firewall software package which will help block the most common unauthorized access attempts to your computer. You will be able to find out more about these services by accessing the My Account area from within your Verizon Yahoo! for FiOS Home Page.
