After extending the original 14 day trial period with NIS 2010 beta, I was unable to extend this for a second time - strange. When the trial period finally lapsed, NIS appeared to have uninstalled itself and I found that I had no internet connection whatsoever. I downloaded an updated version of NIS 2010 beta (following Symantec'c instructions) but it would not install. In frustration, I ghosted back to a previous build to get around the problem. I don't particularly like the NIS product but haven't found anything to replace it with.

What functionility in NIS are you looking for that you cannot find elsewhere?Ray

Just a thought, so has the internet connection resolved? Infact there's AVG and ZA free which you could download and use
