Verizon Internet Security Suite is a suite of tools offered by Verizon
Online that includes Anti-virus, Firewall, Spyware Control, Popup
Blcking, Form Filler, Password Manager, etc.

I was wondering who makes the anti-virus and firewall components. The
only information I found anywhere was Trend Micro making the anti-virus
in 2001 but I believe Verizon's suite has been updated since then.

Does anyone know anything more about VISS?

I am not a subscriber, merely a new employee. I ask it here because no
one else can answer me.

Sure do...

It is an OEM of the F-Prot Engine. Based upon the partner Authentium.
They use to be called ZeroKnowledge. The AV software is the Freedom AV.

BTW: Pest Patrol is the Anti Spyware Engine. I believe Pest Patrol was renamed to CA
AntiSpyware.
