Re: Norton Internet Security 2008 and Vista's Security Center
What you might try is resetting WMI. I have had to do this several times in Vista, it seems like the SecCenter in Vista is buggy. What you do is this:

Click on Start---All Programs---Accessories and right click on Command Prompt.
Select "Run as Administrator"
When the cmd window pops up you should be in the /windows/system32 directory.
Type cd wbem
Type or paste the following:

net stop winmgmt

rmdir /s /q repository

net start winmgmt

Exit the command window and bring up Security Center. It will inform you that the service has been turned off so click on the button presented to turn it back on. After a few minutes the Repository will be rebuilt and hopefully it will see NIS 2008.

BTW, I also use NIS 2008 and loving it
