What is ccApp

After installing the network, I get a message when shutting down either
computer that says Windows is closing the program ccApp. Is this program
running in the background a normal part of the network or is there some sort
of malware running that shouldn't be there?

It's part of Norton Antivirus, as you can easily find out by going to
any Internet search site and typing "ccApp" in the Search box.

Why would I want to go to a search site now that you've told me? Why can't
you MVP people ever answer a question without kicking someone in the head
while you're giving your help?

Because searching is so obvious that it is the first thing that you should
have tried? I don't see Steve's comment as a "kick in the head" so much as
a gentle nudge. Surely you aren't so new to the Internet that you haven't
heard of Google, or Alta Vista, or Yahoo!; all of which are, or have,
search engines? Or, if you are, now you know.

Mr. (or Ms.) Miller, that is a lovely answer. Very gentle and graceful.
I'd just like to add - to protect the OP from what will happen
elsewhere if he doesn't learn to search first - that this newsgroup is
not the same as paid tech support. It is Usenet and in most newsgroups
it is expected that you do some work yourself or at least be willing to
help yourself when pointed in the right direction. For the OP, here are
some links explaining Usenet:

Bob,

Granted, Steve could have been just a little more discrete about trying to
instruct you how to get information, but I do feel your frustration. Googling
for information is generally faster, but you never know what you're going to
get, nor how trustworthy it is. Of course, the same goes for advice given here.

My personal philosophy about giving advice is that, if I don't have time to
answer, I don't. Nobody is obligated to post here, whether or not they know the
answer.

All that said, you might want to cut Steve some slack. Years ago, all of that
would be answered in a FAQ (in this case, an entry that says "Google for it").
A FAQ being (somewhat) static, and (somewhat) flat, most helpers here simply
give advice based upon current knowledge, either individually, or in websites
using HTML documents. And it appears most folks looking for help, these days,
wouldn't bother to look at a FAQ anyway.

Malke,

Norman's answer has some validity, but we might want to cut Bob just a little
slack.
1) I'd rather talk to Bob, who at least asks questions intelligently, than to
some of the elementary school kids who want to know how to HaXor tHEre PareNTs
CompuTRE so they can download the latest cRAP video when they should be in bed
asleep. And Bob answers too, most asking for help never reply.
2) Without folks like Bob, this forum wouldn't be here.
3) Nobody helping here is under any obligation to answer questions. I can
generally find plenty of questions to spend my time answering; if not, I go sit
by the pool for a bit, come back, and look again. If I'm busy, I go do what I
need to do, then come back when convenient.

This forum is hella better than many for questions, and for answers. Go look at
24hoursupport.helpdesk, if you want to find another forum altogether. I pity
the folks like Bob who go there for help.

I'm sorry that my answer offended you, Bob. That wasn't my intention.
Please accept my apology.

I could have worded it better. Let me try this:

It's part of Norton Antivirus. For more information, go to an
Internet search site and type "ccApp" in the Search box, which
will find many relevant web sites.

Why would you want to go to a search site now? For more information
on the subject.

Why would you want to go to a search site in the future? Because it
takes much less time to find the answer to a simple question at a
search site than to post a news group message and wait for someone to
reply.
