Off hand I don't know of any. However I do know of some where you get the
products for _free_ and then get updates for _free_. If having a physical
CD in your hand is really important to you then you could always download
one the appropriate packages and burn your own CD.

Avira Antivir is free and updates automatically, uses little resources and
has a >90% catch rate.

Nothing's guaranteed "forever". Did you do a web search for
free anti-virus products? Avast and AVG are two that come
to mind.

Please keep your topic subject/title shorter as a condensed
summary of the topic instead of an entire sentence. Thank
you.

I think I did but that none that none that I found five you free
firewall protection, so it looks like I got to shell out about 50
bucks a year. That's a lot of money.

Eset NOD32 is well worth the money. AVG free version doesn't scan
scripts, for rootkits, web downloads or IM messages so misses the most
common forms of infection.

You don't need a "suite" of applications all on one CD. A
firewall won't need updated. Get the free antivirus product
you want, then get a free firewall application separately,
though you didn't mention what operating system... WinXP
already has a basic firewall, as does Vista, and many full
featured routers will offer firewall features. ZoneAlarm
has a free version and a Google search will turn up others.

Mount a Linux version. Ubuntu is easy. All versions are free. No
worries about viruses.

Okie doke, thanx to all. In this email below I got, they spun it to
make it sound like they are doing every customer of theirs a big
favour.

Also, after careful consideration, some of the premium services
associated with your Verizon Yahoo! account, like Verizon Yahoo!
Online Protection all-in-one security suite, will be discontinued
before the end of this year. To better serve you, we're focusing our
efforts on providing you with a more powerful, personalized Internet
experience.

We apologize for any inconvenience these changes may cause, but
believe they will allow us to bring you exciting new features that
will continue to enhance your Verizon Yahoo! online experience. For
FAQs, please visit verizon.net/yahoochanges, which we will keep
updated as more information becomes available.
