"ccPxYSvc.exe", as listed in Window$' Task Manager, is an essential component to Norton Internet Security, and will severely inhibit NIS' ability to protect your computer if the process is ended. There are two things that a person with administrative privilidges over the system in question and admin. access to NIS (Especially if Parental Control/s is installed) can do to aleviate the CPU/s from maximum usage. ONE) Even if the system in question has only one user, and is set up to auto-login with user/pass, log off, and wait for the system to be idle, then shut down the computer (not restart)

Internet doesn't work without but it makes my pc slowly. It sucks!
  Ruth  

Had my CPU pegged at 100%!!!
   

Seems like I have the same prob. Same thing happened last year when my subscription was due. Paid the money, got the years subscription an all was well. It's happening again. Subscription over due, Problem with slow machine. Norton does this to make you pay money.... End. Bye bye Norton. Been great over the years but not any more.

Symantec Technical Support says you have to upgrade to latest version since they are no longer supporting the 2003 version, despite the fact that they continue to sell subscriptions to it. Nice.

Makes all other apps fail to run properly (uses 98% cpu). However if i end the process, internet will not function.

It hogs the cpu and shuts down everything else
  Pat  

Resource hog indicating it is poorly written and a threat.
   

Norton
   

Not "dangerous", but has suddenly begun sucking up CPU 90-100%, for about half-hour, then stops
  JB  

It hogged 50% or more of my cpu for almost an hour after I started my computer, and then it stopped and stayed at 0%. God only knows what it was doing all that time. I'm still suspicious because in the task manager, it CCPXYSVC.EXE was in all caps. It used 5,000 K of memory according to taskmanager.

Its a part of Norton Security and if it hogs CPU 98%, first switch off Internet security then end the process and then switch the internet security back on
