The Yahoo!/SBC partnership has announced they are offering a free security suite for their DSL subscribers. The offering will include anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-spam, and various pop-up and offensive content blocking tools.

Yahoo! polled users prior to putting together the suite. More than 70 percent of the users thought security issues very important, but less than 20 percent of them felt they had the skillset to properly secure themselves.

So Yahoo! put together an all-in-one solution, that by the way, more than half the respondents wanted.

ZoneAlarm Security Suite’s latest update caused a few problems with some users. According to this report, the change caused the anti-spam filter to turn on by default. Some temporarily missed mail was the only issue, and the above article points out the easy fix, which entails opening ZoneAlarm’s control panel and turning the junk e-mail filter option on, then restarting Outlook, turning the ZA filter off, and restarting Outlook again.
