I have been trying to troubleshoot some problems that I've noticed on my computer. Here is one of them:
ccSvcHst.exe has been aggravating. The computer will become completely unusable if we stay online because this application keeps growing and the page faults are astronomical. I did some checking and it appears page faults are related to memory or more specifically RAM. While we don't have a lot of RAM (1.12 GB) on this computer, it seems odd that I would still experience page faults if I have no programs running and only have one browser open.
In task manager it looks like this right now:
Image Name User Name Memory Usage Page Faults VM Size Threads I/O Reads I/O Writes
ccSvcHst.exe System 5844k 37,409,999+ 235,952k 79 28,169,301 5,309,595
ccSvcHst.exe myusername 4556k 4,416,848 29,240k 49 6,975 579
CPU % on the system ccsvchst has been 0% but the memory has gone up and down from 4-21K and the page faults, etc. keep increasing. My user account shows CPU usage of around 3%.
Similar to other posts, we've get the error message stating ccsvchst is not responding when we shutdown. I don't know if it's related or not, but Norton's tray icon disappears and Norton did not load on start up the last time I rebooted.
Is this a memory or computer problem? or malware?
Thanks,
LLee
