Uninstall NIS and leave it uninstalled!

http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

Above is a link to Avast Free 4 Home Anti-Virus

It is low resource using, free and Vista 32bit and 64bit compatible.

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

For Spyware removal, use the above link to “Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5.2â€Â

Download it, install it, update it, immunize your system and scan your

System with it.

For a non-scanning, but running in the background, Program to STOP Spyware

being downloaded to your Computer, use SpywareBlaster 4, available at the

above link.
