• "ccApp" must run at start up. Part of Norton AntiVirus 2003. Auto-protect and E-mail check will not function without this

Important: Some malware camouflage themselves as ccApp.exe, particularly if they are located in c:\windows or c:\windows\system32 folder. Thus check the ccApp.exe process on your pc whether it is pest. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. It is one of the Top Download Picks of 2005 of The Washington Post and PC World.

If you're running McAfee Virus Scan, allow ccapp.exe in the Access Protection exceptions for mass mailer worms, or else Norton's process intervening will prevent mail from being sent. It will give a false smtp error.

it may soak up a fair bit of power but it isn't dangerous. it's actually rather safe (norton)

Tip to disable this ccApp.exe file : move it from the Registry\All User\Run keys to the Start Up folder the disable all the entries in Run Key (it basically works with most comercial legitimate anti-virus software) If u dont know how to do it use the XP or Vista Manager trial shareware soft from yamicsoft.com though there are dozens of other pc or tools to do it just in the same way on the internet (not recommended doing it with the win registry edit). Simply deleting that file wont work at all since it will re-start on next systems bootup. Try disabling it first as indicated in this post.

ccApp is used by norton but can hang on startup. If you notice that the app is not in your bottom toolbar then it has hung. To fix it just startup notepad, type something it it, don't save the notepad, go to Start Menu and do a Logoff. When it comes up with ccapp not responding end the task and when it goes to close your notepad hit cancel to abort the logoff process. Now you can operate normally and run the NIS config to run Nortan normally. Its a method around the problem but not a fix for it.

on my pc it uses up all the memories, and sometimes crashes my internet explorer. it's good to hear it's norton but they haven't thinked about all the memory it use =/

This started with Norton AV2003. This is 2007 and it's still not fixed?!! WTF I bought/returned Norton 2003,2004, & 2005 b4 deciding Norton sucks. I recommend you skip the first 3 of my steps & keep #4 in mind. :)

Norton Antivirus. But it's true, it uses tons of RAM.

Not dangerous but annoying. It's another Norton AntiVirus component that drains your computer's resources and causes frequent errors. Here's a link to Symantec Support. You might want to add it to your favorites. ; )

Well, my experience of late is this little applet ccApp.exe is quite annoying when I want to open anything in MSN for one example. Another annoyance is my CPU gets hit for 100% for a long time. I have had to use the task manager to close this applet down. Of course, this is from Norton 360 which I purchased recently and I am regretting that decision. Days after the installation, my whole computer started to slow down and I started to disable sections of Norton and my computer came back to life. I believe Norton has a serious problem with their products lately --- Beware of Norton Products

This file is part of Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security. If it is not responding during shutdown or restart Norton seems to recommend turning off "Scan floppy disk in A: for boot viruses when shutting down." If it is using a huge amount of CPU usage Norton seems to recommend turning off the "scan outgoing mail" feature.

part of the norton internet security, no danger unless you have a bad computer, it'll slow it down a lot. i don't have any problems.

ccApp.exe is a process required for Symantec's (Spelling?) Norton Anti-Virus and Norton Internet Security to run properly. Takes up 21MB of RAM on my system...but I've had NAV for years, and it works. It's better to have some RAM taken up than to have a virus destroy your computer.
  Anon  

It's memory resident for security reasons, therefore you need a decent amount of RAM to run with it.. Not checked out Symantecs site but suspect they probably recomend at least 1024k RAM. If you haven't got that switch on, make a cup of coffee, go have a shower,dress and have breakfast then you may be able to log in. Alternatively get MacAfee.
