error reporting stopped error

For several days now, I've had a small Microsoft window which first appears minimized in on the taskbar.  When I click on it, it is a small window that states: "Symantec error reporting stopped working and was closed. A problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows will notifify you if a solution is available."  When I close it, it comes back shortly thereafter, even when the computer is idle.  I haven't been able to figure out how long it takes to come back or what might be bringing it back. I have rebooted but that hasn't changed anything.  I've also run a full NIS scan and also Malwarebytes and Ad-Aware.  I'm using NIS 2011.  My Windows version is Vista Home Premium SP2.

 

I can't believe this is actually a reliable, trustworthy error.  Can anyone help me figure out where and what this is?

 

Note that I'd like to attach a screen print of the error but can't see to attach it.  If there is a way, please let me know how.
