NIS.exe running as windows service continuously writes to disk - generation excessinv I/O. This will also degrade the hard disk performance gradually.
It writes these 2 files
C:\ProgramData\Norton\{0C55C096-0F1D-4F28-AAA2-85EF591126E7}\NIS_21.1.0.18\Logs\bash.dat
C:\ProgramData\Norton\{0C55C096-0F1D-4F28-AAA2-85EF591126E7}\NIS_21.1.0.18\CmnClnt\ccSetMgr\settings_21.1.0.18.dat
This is wrong from a design perspective also. Please fix this.
Today i must see that Norton DNS my Fritzbox Account blocks away.So i have to disable temp Norton DNS
is there a way to solve this
I need to remove Norton Internet Security for awhile. The first time I ran the Norton Removal Tool, it gave the message that I first had to remove Norton Utilities, which I did have on my computer at the time. I uninstalled NU through the regular Windows uninstaller, but when I went back to try the removal tool it still says that NU must first be removed. But I've already removed it. So I'm stuck right now. What can I do to solve this?

Dear All,
I'm a new member of this community and I hope we can help each other.
My issue concerns Norton Anti Theft. As I'm deciding if I can buy it, I kindly ask for some clarifications:
1) is Norton Anti Theft compatible with EUFI drivers and with Windows 8.1 Pro ?
2) does the program run before Windows is loaded (as when an HDD cryptography software is installed) or after Windows is loaded, but just before the Windows password screen?
I thank you in advance for your suppor and explanations.
Regards.
When I log into Identity Safe and use it sometimes it closes itself correctly after 30 minutes of inactivity which is how I have it set or I can close it manually. Sometimes though the tab says "Vault is Closed", however, when I go to "Open Vault" it brings up the Logins screen and says the vault is open but it won't let me log in to any of my websites. It just stays on the Logins screen and won't even let me close the app. If I go into task manager it will let me close the identity safe, however it won't let me restart it again. The only solution I have is to restart the entire system and then it will close the vault and work properly which is very frustrating when I sometimes have to do this several times a day. My OS is Windows 8.1, Internet Explorer 11, and my only antivirus is Windows Defender. I do use CCleaner and Advanced System Care 7, but I don't see how these could be affecting the problem. Any help would be appreciated, because at this point I am about to uninstall it and use Last Pass.
Does my Norton utilities 16 program clean up my norton security files too?,and where are the results located at?
Greetings,
Can anyone tell me if "Norton Antivirus Online" version 20.4 provided by CenturyLink has the ability to block forwarded ports?
And if so, how to manage which ports to allow to pass?
Ever since installing it several months ago, I cannot view my security cams via the internet. The cams use port forwarding and it appears the ports are not forwarding. I have checked and rechecked the router port forwarding settings and all is properly setup.
I've looked all through the setup stuff in Norton and don't see any "Firewall" or "Port" or "Traffic" settings that other posts speak of...those UIs don't exist in this version s/w.
Please help?

Hiyas,
Is there any way to teach Norton Utilities 16 not to look at optimizing SSD's. The nag (about Defrag) is becoming very tiresome. The old PC Tools utility managed to recognise the drives as SSDs. I am surprised a supposedly superior product can't manage this.
Why doesn't utilities 16 clean up my system files like:user/system archived/queued windows error files,windows upgrade log files (i don't want to upgrade until they get it right) windows update cleanup files? i have 2.8GB of these system files accumulated?
Norton power eraser is dangerous for someone that is still fairly green with win 8 (like me,but i am getting better).
I can NOT get on community.norton.com using Bing/explorer. i can get in with Google, but not with Microsoft engines?anyone else experienced this?
Utilities 16 gives you a list of actions.Why after completing something on the list does it remain on the dashboard to do it again and again and again and the list seems out of order create restore points then lose the restore points in the next action on the list.??
I was having problems with nationzoom.com hijacking browser start and new page settings ... my norton 360 seemed oblivious, even after a NPE scan, so I used StopZilla (which fixed the hijacking but contines to report 88 damaged or suspicious files).
Anyway, because StopZilla continued to report problems, I thought I'd try NPE again ... it found 2 files that needed to be corrected, so I approved the fix which then failed. I failed to write down the 2 file names, so I contacted support for help identifying the NPE scan results ... after wiating close to half an hour to connect with a chat session, the agent connected to my computer, ran a QuickScan (which completed successfully, not finding any problems) then, when I asked if a QuickScan is the same as an NPE scan (which required a reboot when I ran it), and why she didn't answer my original question (i.e., how to identify the 2 files NPE reported and failed to fix), she closed the chat session without comment.
Should I be concerned?
Is a QuickScan is the same as an NPE scan?
And is there a way to see a log file or something else to report on the NPE scan I ran that found problems?
Thanks
P.S. I'm not happy with all of the time required of me to chase this stuff down ... I paid my subscription and dues by waiting for support ... all I want is a clear answer.
I just installed 2014 and it doesnt have ANY of my old info. I have to put it all back in? I picked the option to retain my data. Where is it? If I have to put all my old passwords and credit cards in I am going to be very upset and this will be the last year for Norton.
Thank you
With version 15, it was that you could only stay with version 15 even if a new version was released in the licence period. Has the product now changed to a similar licence as with NIS, where as long as you have a valid licence, you can upgrade to the latest version? I only ask seeing as you now have to validate the install.
Thanks in advance.
