Is there a fix or patch for the DNS problem?

You cannot uninstall Windows firewall. Its part of the entire OS.

Hi Dieselman743,

 

Have you any messages?

Messages about what?

I sent you a private message regarding Comodo.

Yeah, I was wondering about that.  Well I guess that answers that angle, the firewall was already disabled when I installed.  Still trying to remove NIS, in order to install the new iteration.

 

Thanks again!

No I never got your message.

Alright, bad news.  I got NIS 2009 (16.0.0.125) uninstalled.  However, When I installed NIS 2009 (16.1.0.33) it had the same problem.  I am beginning to doubt that this is Norton's issue, and beginning to suspect some virus-caused scar tissue in the windows installation (for lack of more technical wording).    There is also the possibility of a virus still lurking in the system files.  I am going to attempt a "soft" reinstall of the OS and see if that helps anything.

 

More later.

Alright, so I found a fix.  Although it feels like a mix between a victory and a surrender.  The "soft" reinstall worked.  I have been able to activate, download updates and all from Symantec.  So while that fixes my problem, I think it might skirt the issue that was there previously.  Anyway, thanks for all your help!
