Vista & Norton Internet Security 2010

[PeoplesChoice]

Vista is reporting that no firewall or anti-malware is active. I just
purchased Norton 2010 and it is running. All its' indicators say
everything is turned on. Am I doing something wrong? When I am asked if
I want to turn on the firewall (for instance) I say 'YES.' The Norton
window (its' control panel) show on my screen and all indicators are on.
I close that window and Vista says my firewall is still turned off.

It's just a problem with the Vista Security Center. The windows firewall is
off because NIS is turning it off, as it should. This sometimes happens
because other security software doesn't uninstall properly. You could try
uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling NIS which may straighten it out.
That's a quick and easy process with the 2010 version. Just make sure you
have the NIS disc or downloaded installer.
