Internet Security Suite Verizon

[Janae Chebret]

Ihave had Verizon telephone and internet service for several years, along with Verizon Internet Security suite. I recently moved to a new address. I told Verizon that I want the same service that I had at my old address. After the Verizon technician came to my house, I got an email from Verizon that my Verizon Internet Security Suite has been discontinued. I called Verizon, and told them that I still want the Security Suite. At first Verizon tried to set me up with a bundled service that includes both the security suite and a data backup service. I called Verizon and said that is not what I want, and that I only want the security suite, not the data backup service. When I uninstall and download the Verizon Internet Security Suite, I get a message that says the following:

I'm having a similar issue since upgrading my FIOS service: in the process of trimming our package the Verizon rep discovered 2 backup/security bundles and removed one of them. Based on the issue I am experiencing I am now convinced that the wrong bundle was removed and McAfee is no longer part of the current one.

Today, I tried to open Verizon Internet security suite, only to find that it had completely stopped working. When I opened VISS I got a small window that says"this webpage could not be displayed", instead of the list of options I usually get.

I figured my best option would be to uninstall and reinstall VISS... But that didn't go so well. The usual method of going into the control panel, and removing it through the "Programs and Features" menu wouldn't work, because the window telling me that, "this webpage could not be displayed" kept showing up.

Next, I tried using Revo uninstaller to remove VISS and all it's components, and the same thing happened. Revo Uninstaller deleted VISS anyway, but this ended up crippling my wireless internet connection. I had to use a system restore point to undo this... And now VISS seems to be stuck on my computer.

How to uninstall or reinstall supported McAfee consumer products using the McAfee Consumer Products ...

Summary: This document explains how to remove and reinstall McAfee Consumer products using the McAfee Consumer Products Removal tool. This option should only be used after you remove your McAfee product through Add/Remove Programs.

I have been working with both Verizon and McAfee techs to get installation of my security suite installed after my computer was out of order for more than a 30 day period. Apparently McAfee is now handling the security suite. Verizon is able to remote access into my computer, but McAfee can't. I have spent more than 10 hours on the phone with techs and still no security suite. I spent 6 hours on calls with McAfee of and on just today alone. Tomorrow I will receive yet another call to attempt the fix........we'll see if it gets done.

Don't know if it is because it is a 64-bit. Verizon did not originally have security suite when I got the computer last year, but then they got it and it was installed. Now I have no security!!!!! Why can't they figure this out?

I had the same problem over the weekend and was extremely disgusted! My PC is old (ancient) and the McAfee tech, after deleting my 3rd party software which was spybot (he said it was interferring with the download) told me that I needed to upgrade my PC's servicepack to 3 AND to increase the gb to 512 which I was running at 500gb. I rarely use the machine since I have a laptop and my house is wireless. This has happened since FiOS was upgraded and I have had it for a year. No problems previously. I informed the tech, not kindly, that I would not increase memory or order the servicepack for this old PC. I made him restore the spybot that he deleted and told him I will cancel the service. Today, the activation started on my PC and downloaded without a problem. Spybot is still running in the background!!!

I have been thru 6 hours of tech support for the same problem. All they did was wipe out my browser and left me hanging on screen sharing. This company is a nitemare. They owe me 300 dollars in credits and I still have no internet. I am going to satillite

With the Security Suite, if it won't download in the first place it's most likely being blocked by a piece of software. Wiping out the browser settings is often a start since there are many things that can typically go wrong with them. Checking out other things like the HOSTS file and preventitive security software might also be a start.

Service Packs and System Updates would apply if the installation of the software fails, not the download. It would also apply if the software opens but does not run fully. If the McAfee techs and the Verizon techs cannot figure it out, remove any security programs installed, visit McAfee's Website and run the McAfee Removal Tool, reset your browser back to factory defaults and try it again. Failing that, just ask to have Verizon Security Suite removed from the account (they won't be able to give much in credits since it's a 3rd party program made by McAfee, thus Verizon's already paid someone else for it) and use something such as Avast! or Panda Cloud AV to cover the bases. VISS back when it was introduced did in fact run on 64-bit operating systems. If you're shooting down the UAC prompts then that will cause problems.

The antivirus component of the VISS aims to safeguard your devices against viruses, worms, and other forms of malware. It stays up-to-date with the latest virus definitions and has real-time scanning capabilities to protect you from emerging threats.

Yes, Verizon does offer antivirus protection. They provide their customers with the Verizon Internet Security Suite (VISS), which includes antivirus protection. This software helps to protect your devices against malware, viruses, and other online threats. The antivirus software is constantly updated to ensure you are protected against the latest threats. VISS is available for both Windows and Mac operating systems.

Remember, the benefits of installing an antivirus program, such as Verizon McAfee, include protecting your computer from malicious software, safeguarding personal information, and enhancing overall system performance.

Verizon offers its customers a free antivirus software called McAfee Multi-Access. This program comes with a plethora of features to offer robust, comprehensive defense for your devices. Here, I breakdown the main features of this software:

1. Virus and Malware Protection: At its core, it provides powerful protection against viruses, malware, ransomware, and other online threats. It uses advanced scanning technology that automatically scans, blocks, and removes threats.

2. Multi-Device Compatibility: The software is compatible with multiple devices. You can use it on PCs, Macs, smartphones, and tablets. This flexibility allows you to maintain security across all your devices.

4. Performance Optimization: McAfee Multi-Access also comes with tools to help optimize device performance. It allows you to maintain your privacy by permanently deleting important files from your device.

7. Free Support: Last but not least, Verizon offers free support for its antivirus software. You can contact their customer service for assistance regarding installation or technical issues.

1. Limited Features: The free version often comes with limited features compared to the paid versions. Typically, basic protection against viruses and malware is provided, but advanced features like real-time protection, firewall, and secure transactions may not be included.

2. Ads and Promotions: Free antivirus software often includes ads and regular promotions for their paid versions or other products. This can cause an annoyance to the user, distract from their activity, and even slow down the system performance.

3. No Technical Support: Most free antivirus software does not come bundled with technical support. If you encounter a problem or need guidance, you may find yourself alone unless you upgrade to a paid version.

4. Lack of Updates: With free antivirus software, you might not receive the regular updates that you would get with a premium version. Updates are crucial for better security as they include fixes for new viruses and threats.
