You're not the only one.

NIS 2006 is having the same issues. Symantec must have done a crackdown. I haven't found a workaround yet.

I tried uninstalling for now and reinstalled Client Security. Even that isn't working. The firewall stays disabled. Next is to try removing all symantec files with this: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/t111599.html

Same thing happened to me on the home PC earlier with NIS 2006.

My solution was to uninstall and download a different AV.

I'm now using Symantec corp.

This morning for me also.

I was hoping that someone would let me know if there is a workaround.

I have tried uninstalling all Symantec products and using the tools in the above link to remove all traces. I then tried installing Client Security but still the firewall still won't run. The AntiVirus part does work.

Instead of re-installing systemworks I installed NOD32. Wow just wow... does a full scan in 22 mins, im down like 3 processes,overall its pretty good. I think I'll be using this untill theres somekind of a workaround for norton. :)

Maybe so but that's only an Antivirus. I really like Norton Personal Firewall for blocking outbound communication.

Does anyone know of a simple firewall that asks when a new program tries to communicate with the internet and can let the user block or allow outbound communication? I really don't need much for inbound protection because I use a hardware firewall for that.

Yeah the worm protection was nice cuz it blocked incomming things like instrution attempts, and it also has msn scanning... feck why did they have to screw us over :(

Why not just use a Corporate version like Symantec Client Security ? Never have to worry about program expiring . :)


Have recomended myself many times and linked from two very good members as VB and Izzy . :)

Have had some issues with ZA mentioned above in the past an wouldnt touch or recommend it and have heard others say the same. Think a better app thats simple to use and will do what you want is Syagte which has a freeware version...

Sygate is now owned by Symantec Corp, I believe.
I use Outpost, a bloody excellent firewall, and Kaspersky, the second best AV client out there.
IMHO.

It is and most likely will vanish as its been abandoned as far as I know due to the buyout.
However freeware version 5.6 is current and available on the net and will do what he wants...
