NIS 2007 then, I assume. NSW = Norton System Works.

While Symantec claims that its current applications are Vista-compatible,
they've been the source of untold problems in Vista. Uninstall NIS ASAP,
then don't fail to run this removal tool:

The following AV apps are supported in Vista: NOD32, Kaspersky6, Sophos (in
order per my recommendations).

Steer clear of McAfee, too.

Thank you very much for this feedback.

I uninstalled NIS several months ago before this was an issue.
Still have the problem. Contacting Dell was a waste of time I was told to
wait and maybe Microsoft will correct the patch and for now uninstall patch
and turn off auto-update. Any ideas?
