Could someone inform me as to what the process CCAPP.exe that is running on
my computer does? Besides eventually hogging all the CPU's useage time? I
can delete it ( after receiving a warning not to dare do it) and XP begins
to run faster again.

Thanks much,

Bruce W. Harris

ccApp.exe
(Symantec)

Symantec's Common Client Application for Norton AntiVirus 2003/4, Norton Personal
Firewall 2003/4, and Norton Internet Security 2003/4. This task is, effectively, the
"master" task in these products as its role is to call the different program features
of the above products. For example, if Auto-Protect and E-mail Scanning are enabled,
then CCAPP makes sure that those programs are running. If CCAPP is disabled, then
Auto-Protect and Email Scanning will not run.

Recommendation :
Leave well alone - this task is crucial to the proper working of your Norton 2003/4
security product. We recommend, however, that you do a manual LiveUpdate every so
often in order to pick up software updates (and not just virus definitions updates)
as this task has had a few irritating bugs in the past.
