NIS icon doesn't show up

Hello,

 

I have read a lot of comments about the "ccsvchst.exe does not reply on shutdown"-theme, but I still don't have a satisfying answer.

 

I cannot check the current version of my Norton Internet Security 2010, because its icon didn't show up - for now it's the 3. day... Furthermore I cannot start the LiveUpdate, because it doesn't work either. I can see the Norton's running applications in the Task manager, and the plug-ins work in the background when I'm on the net and during making the correspondence with MS Outlook. Sometimes the icon shows up for a day or two, then my PC can shutdown correctly. I have Windows XP SP2, although I don't think that has any business with this problem.

 

But I think one can't say this software runs properly if problems occur because of it. Why should I edit the regedit when the problem is with the Symantec Service Framwork? I would like to ask for a solution that makes my PC working perfectly again, if I did buy this product.

 

To react the last of your answer: on my PC the dialogue window is "ccsvchst.exe does not respond - End/Cancel". And I don't have many icons loaded on the tray, because I like to see my PC as clear as possible. The problem is clearly with the Framework, so could you please do something with that? Or could you suggest something else?
