NIS 08 has been removed from my system - please help

Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Sed posuere consectetur est at lobortis. Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla. Aenean lacinia bibendum nulla sed consectetur. Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum. Morbi leo risus, porta ac consectetur ac, vestibulum at eros. Sed posuere consectetur est at lobortis. Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Duis mollis, est non commodo luctus, nisi erat porttitor ligula, eget lacinia odio sem nec elit. Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Aenean eu leo quam. Pellentesque ornare sem lacinia quam venenatis vestibulum. Curabitur blandit tempus porttitor. Sed posuere consectetur est at lobortis.

Thanks Phil

 

But I have had defender installed since last year, I thought reinstalling NIS would be the go, but was hoping for a reason as to why it happened, as well as a solution. If it is a virus that has removed it and changed so many things on my system, i dont want it all to happen again,  I will reinstall and see how i go.

 

Thanks

If it does not appear in your tray doesn't mean it isn't there anymore.

You could test it with eicar 

I am running XP pro sp2 and have NIS 08 installed since march this year. Now this morning I notice it does not load in the system tray. I check add/remove programs and it is now gone. Virus??? 

 

I also cannot run windows defender (error: application failed to initialize 0x80070006. The handle is invalid)  or microsoft onecare scanner. Malwarebytes will update and scan but finds no problems.

 

Please provide any solutions.....

 

Thanks Mumbundy

 

 

Could windows defender have removed it when it installed?  You could redownload it and assuming you still have your key or created an account with Norton, reinstall it without any problems.  The key is probably still on your system.
