Something in today's update is causing Norton product maintenance to fail to complete. It was OK yesterday. I can replicate this behavior on two PC. On several occasions, the Product maintenance in the Norton task reads "failed to complete."
This issue seem to have been resolved by the push of the new definitions.
Hi,
Your assumption is totally wrong, Product Maintenance has nothing to do with Web Protection Defs.
It's quite simple, at the moment when then timer for Product Maintenance expired, your CPU was too busy so the NIS task failed.
It happens sometimes, especilally with old single core CPU's like mine, but after a while it finishes successfully.

I have an AMD Phenom II X6 processor so it is not old :/
Hi,
You misunderstood, I was referring to my old CPU not yours, relax!!
In all cases, you do not have to worry about this NIS process.
If you have NIS 2012, be sure to download the latest update 19.9.1.14.
Kind regards,

I use NIS13 and yes it's up to date. I 99.99% think it's a faulty Web protection update cause it got fixed after a new one came in.
