I have Vista Home Premium and NIS 2008. The Security Center fails to
recognize the installation of NIS 2008. When I boot up I keep on getting
messages that are in the "Norton" format that my firewall is turned off,
then anti-virus is turned off and then spyware is turned off. When I go
into the Norton Protection center everything is listed as secure and I
have
the green checkmark. I have unistalled and reinstalled. I have used the
Norton removal tool after these uninstalls and I still get these messages.
Interesting enough when I initially install NIS 2008 the security center
recognizes it but does not after I reboot the first time. I have verified
the repository and I have removed it so that a new directory is built.
Nothing works! Suggestion??

Uninstall NIS and leave it uninstalled!

Above is a link to Avast Free 4 Home Anti-Virus
It is low resource using, free and Vista 32bit and 64bit compatible.

For Spyware removal, use the above link to “Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2�
Download it, install it, update it, immunize your system and scan your
System with it.

For a non-scanning, but running in the background, Program to STOP Spyware
being downloaded to your Computer, use SpywareBlaster 4, available at the
above link.
