I've noticed that NIS service has recently began to stop uncommanded. I manually restarted the service, but it would stop again after a few minutes.
I checked the WinXP event log and its reporting Errors "The Norton Internet Security service terminated unexpectedly".
I looked back through the event log to the first NIS Error, and it shows it occuring imediately after a LiveUpdate service event on 22Aug09 (+10GMT).
Can anyone please help??
Hi petekat03,
Welcome to Norton Community!
This may be due to the installation of 16.7 patch. Try to run the hotfix from the following Support Article (eventhough the error message is different) :
http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20090821103237EN
If the problem persists, better uninstall the 16.7 version using Norton Removal Tool and then install the 16.5 version. The 16.7 patch will be available to you on a later time.
