Vista - NIS 2007 (vista compatible version) always shown out of date?

I have just installed NIS (vista compatible version) and all went well.
It installed fine and it runs fine. It updates fine...

.... But I am having a small problem. If I go to the security centre in
control panels it ALWAYS shows it as "might be out of date"?
I know that NIS 2007 is up to date because I ran live updates.
I wondered what could be causing this.

I know there is a LOT of Symantec haters here but I have NIS 2007 on my
laptop (came pre-installed) and it is working flawlessly on it.
Apart from this small but irritating problem everything else about this
program is working fine.

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

I had some issues with NIS 2007 (for Vista) and ended up getting a refund
from Symantec. Have you looked in the knowledge base on the Symantec site?
I ended up getting Norton 360 and am very satisfied with it.

You also say that you have just installed the Vista compatible version, but
then later you say that it came installed on your laptop. Did your laptop
come with Vista and you paid for NIS 2007 or did you upgrade to Vista from
XP and then install NIS 2007? Confusing.

Kirk my laptop came with NIS 2007 preinstalled (a 60 day trial). I brought a
box version with a three computer license to install on my main PC and on my
laptop, which came with vista (to replace the 60 day trial version).

Yes, I get the same message. The message seems to imply it's the maleware
protection, not anything else. I know mine is up to date also. When you run
NIS, windows defender also runs which scans for maleware too so I'm sure
we're protected. I love NIS too, it's caught a few viruses over the years and
I've never had a problem so why not love it
