Hi,
I have major problems with NIS 2009 ver. 16.5.0.135 and thought you might be interested.
Since my NIS 16.0 stopped working I followed your instructions, including running NRT ver 2009.0.5 twice, and searching and deleting all Symmantic files found with Sym*.*
The result was that the system, Windows XP SP3, blue screened each time the new NIS started to load.
I stopped the rebooting with an F8 and recovered using Last Good Configuration. Then I reinstalled my old NIS ver. 16.1.0.33 and ran LU once, which completed all steps successfully. The definitions were updated but the NIS ver. remained 16.1.0.33.
Now, I am running a full scan but I doubt it will find the problem.
So it looks like NIS 2009 ver. 16.5 is not the solution for me!
Robert
