Windows Action Center reports NIS "turned off"

Windows Action Center flags that "Norton Iinternet Security reports that is is turned off." When I open NIS it indicates "System Status: Secure." This happens intermitently, but has become more frequent lately.  I am not inclined to turn off that Action Center, because NIS might actually be turned off in the future.  I assume NIS is correctly reporting that it is on, but this is both annoying and worrisome.

4. Restart the computer.
5. Click the Start button, and then click All Programs > Accessories > Run.
