Norton Internet Security Service not starting

Archive

Over the last two days, I’ve had problems with NIS 2010 at start-up.  The “Norton Internet Security Service” is timing out and NIS 2010 doesn’t start.  When this happens, Windows Security Center says I have no firewall or antivirus protection.  Each time this has happened, the problem goes away when I restart.

 

I’m very concerned about this.  If I hadn’t been sitting at my computer, I could have gone awhile with no protection.  Anyone have an idea why the service is timing out sometimes?

 

 

This is what I see in the Event Logs:

&lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif] →

#1:

A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Norton Internet Security service to connect.

 

#2:

The Norton Internet Security service failed to start due to the following error:

The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
