What is ccapp.exe ?

[Bruno Godbout]

Everytime I shut down my machine, there's this window about a file called
ccapp.exe that has to be terminated. What is that ?

It's part of either Symantec AntiVirus or Symantec Personal Firewall (or Norton Internet Security which is both bundled)

I believe that it is the symantec common client, and is part of the live update process

ccapp is part of Norton Anti-Virus. It's the program that scans your
incoming and outgoing email. It's not shutting down fast enough when
you shut down your computer. I had the same thing happen here. I used
X-Setup (free) and just modified the amount of time that Windows waits
for a program and a service to shut down, and the problem when away.

Hi Bruno,

Information about stopping ccApp.exe from loading at startup

Situation:
========
You are trying to maximize your system resources to make your computer
start faster. When you open the Windows System Configuration Utility to
check which programs are loading at startup, you see a file called
ccApp.exe. You want to know what will happen if you uncheck the program to
stop it from loading on startup.

Solution:
========
ccApp is an important part of the protection that Norton AntiVirus (NAV) or
Norton Internet Security (NIS) provides and should not be disabled at
startup.

ccApp.exe is the common hosting application that is used by both NAV and
NIS. It calls the different program features in NAV and NIS. For example,
in NAV, if Auto-Protect and Email Scanning are enabled, then ccApp.exe
makes sure that those programs are running. If ccApp is disabled, then
Auto-Protect and Email Scanning will not run.

If you have already disabled ccApp.exe, then follow the steps in the
document Auto-Protect does not load after installing Norton AntiVirus and
then restarting the computer to re-enable the program.

If you disabled ccApp.exe because it appears to be using excessive CPU
time, read ccApp.exe appears to be using excessive system resources to
solve the problem.
