Recently I have been having a problem with ccSvcHst.exe . I stumbled onto this site searching for an answer and lo
and behold my case seems to be identical to jnth's, whose problem was cleared on 8-8-2009 by removing Norton and
reinstalling, but Ythan in same thread tried that tactic without success. In my case the offending program took total
control of my computer and ran last night for 50 minutes utilizing all available cpu capacity. This is not acceptable, in fact taking over 100 percent of cpu for any length of time is unacceptable. I would much prefer not
to go throught the uninstall/reinstall procedure to fix something that seems to be a program fault as my Norton
subscription runs out in 14 days and While I have used Norton for about 10 years, unless I can fix this annoyance
soon, I will not be inclined to renew. This problem must be much more widespread than the activity on this forum
indicates and IMHO it deserves explanation and solving other than the shotgun approach of uninstall reinstall.
