Hi2all

The assumption that this is a bug its not clear, or not a bug at all,
but at least is some lack of information from Symantec. The new Norton
Internet Security 2000 based his firewall and several protections on
AtGuard (from - the ex ? - www.atguard.com)...

 Why? probably because

of files with the same names or something like it, the fact is that you
can not enable NIS protection if you dont uninstall AtGuard before
installing NIS2k.


Hi all.
NIS uses a lot of the files from @tGuard. Unfortunately, when NIS is
installed while @tGuard still exists, major problems occur. @tGuard
needs to be completely removed from your box if you intend to trial or
use NIS
This from Steve Gibson's pages (http://grc.com/su-firewalls.htm):

A WARNING TO CURRENT ATGUARD USERS: The two products are still so
similar that NIS2K's files utterly collided with AtGuard's when NIS2K
was installed on the same machine! Attempting to edit NIS2K's settings
brought up AtGuard's dialog boxes! So, at least in the case of this
NIS2K beta, you absolutely must remove AtGuard before installing NIS2K.

Things are still obviously wrinkled for the two f/walls.
