Folks, I've been posting this problem for over 3 months now and not one answer...
Problem: Win7 x64 reports NIS2012 turned off; when clicking on "Turn on Now" it opens up the NIS2012 window but does not clear the red flag.
I've narrowed the problem down (I think) -
I uninstall NIS2012 via Control Panel.
I reboot.
I use Norton Removal Tool.
I reboot.
I use CC Cleaner - just to be safe and remove any left over registry keys for Norton.
I reboot.
I use Norton Removal Tool - one more time to be safe.
I reboot.
I then reinstall NIS2012.
I reboot. Version installed is 19.1.028 - Action Center reports ALL WELL (Green)
I live update - about 88mb.
I reboot. Version is still 19.1.028 but now Action Center reports turned off (Red)
I live update - about 35mb
I reboot.
Version is now 19.5.0.145 - Action Center reports ALL WELL (Green)
I live update - about 545k (this is the one that messes it back up)
I reboot.
No more live updates required - version is still 19.5.0.145 but Action Center reports turned off (Red)
I've registered and deregistered wmiuitls (as per other suggestions)
Is it possible to pull a log and find out why this is flaggin as turned off?
