NIS includes Norton Firewall, Norton Antivirus and Norton Anti SPam.
If you have separately installed NAV after NIS it is redundant and may have
screwed up some settings, however I'm not certain that it would even comlete
the installationprocess, being aware of NIS on the system.
You can reslove this as you know what and how it was installed.
NIS will take a while to compete loading on the PC: thus NAV will not show
'enabled' for a few minutes after the PC is powered up.
The NAV&NIS were installed as a package-with a three mo. trial-with my new
computer. I renewed the suscription (successfully according to Symantec) in
Jan. 2005. Since then, the problems I described have been occurring more
frequently. The only error in my log viewer is that of NAV 2004 internal
program error 4002,517. Also, a check of System Configuration Utility
indicates that the NAV/NIS may not be installed correctly. I would like to
know if Agcaoili's suggestion (Thanks, Phil) or removal/reinstall are my only
current options. Thanks.

No problem.
Gotta love information technology, so there are always [many] other options
to correct your problem
From what you wrote, (a) you are infected with something and (b) your
current A/V and Security solutions are not installed and working properly.
I wrote the guide to assist my folks when they had a bad infection and I
wrote it as a "throw the whole kitchen including the sink" approach to
correcting any generic malware or spyware infection. So, there are less
invasive ways to clean up your machine that is specific to whatever you're
infected with.
As for the issues with NAV and NIS, the software isn't running properly. If
you give Symantec a call, their support will most likely ask you to remove
and reinstall the software so that it functions correctly.
NIS and NAV running simultaneously is not a good thing.
After you uninstall both apps.
Install and run NIS alone and see if things work out better for you.
Remember with an infection, you've already let the burglar into the house
and re-enabling your home security system afterwards--you need to disinfect
whatever is a foothold in your system.
Good luck.

Thanks again to Phil and BAR.
