    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.
