Midway - I tried this approach to the fixing the WMI and WSC and the buggy
problem with NIS 2008. When the computer (running WinVista Home Premium)
boots up, I still get the message from NIS that the antivirus is still not
active, even though the NIS window shows that portion of the product is
active. The computer is for a "non-techie" who gets very easily freaked out
when they get any kind of error message outside of "normal" software updates.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! TIA!!
