Ok, here is the cut & paste.

Dear Norton Community,

We know that you all have been waiting for the Windows 7 compatibility release of NAV/NIS 2009 and Norton 360 v3. We are glad to announce that we have completed testing NAV/NIS 2009 and Norton 360 v3 on Windows 7 and we are ready to release the patch.

The version number of the new release will be 16.7.2.9 for NAV and NIS and 3.5.2.9 for Norton 360 v3.

The FAQ below tries to answer some common questions:

For Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security, the version number is 16.7.2.9.

For Norton 360 v3, the version number is 3.5.2.9.

2. When will I receive the patch?

As a standard practice, we will be deploying the patch in a phased manner. On Monday, 10th of August, we will be releasing the patch to the first batch of few randomly selected customers. Once the patch is released, we will monitor our telemetry and this forum for any problem reports or issues. If we find problems in the field, we will update the patch, test it and release it again.

If we do not find any issues, we will make the patch available to all customers. We will keep the Norton Community abreast of our exact date of the patch release to all customers.

All NAV/NIS 2009 and N360 v3 customers will receive this patch. In case you want to install NAV/NIS or Norton 360 on a new Windows 7 machine, you will need to install this release. This release will be posted on the Norton Update Center. We do not have an ETA on when we will post on Norton Update Center yet. Once we have an ETA, we will be updating this post with more information.

Please note that all customers with a valid subscription will receive this update for free.

I'm a little confused. If you can't install NIS 2009 on Win7, how will you receive the patch? Do they mean to the beta NIS 2009 for Win7?

Or will they update the whole installer to the new build number which is what I prefer.

NIS 2009 installs fine on Win7. But with some issues.. I think SONAR.. used to not connect... and the fixes they mentioned..

So they modified NIS 2009 to function better with Win7. They named it NIS 2009.7

The box Patch works the same on both the NIS version.

This one has one feature that I was thinking about lately. It allows you to use multiple threads to do a manual scan. I did a manual scan with 4 threads and I got a BSOD. So, I naturally did what normal people would do. I did it again. And I got BSOD again. (Unrecoverable hardware error.) I switched back to a single thread and it scanned successfully. Any how, I must be the only stp fck to some how managed to get Win7x64 to boot slower than VistaX64. Yeap! That's the story of my life. :frusty:
