Gidday,
I bought and installed Norton SystemWorks 2006. This is the biggest mistake I have made in ages! Nothing but problems. I uninstalled it hoping to install just the anti-virus bit. The uninstall took nearly 4 hours due to Norton GoBack. I have now installed just the Anti-Virus app only. CCAPP.EXE is constantly accessing the hard drive and memory usage just keeps growing. My P4 3.06GHz machine is getting slower and slower. I have used Norton for years but it seems this one is a dog.
Is there a known fix?
TIA, Peter

Peter,
According to Google, CCAPP.EXE appears to be part of NAV and somehow this would appear to need removal. How you do it? Perhaps Norton have instructions?

Re: Norton AV 2006
The best way to fix symantec problems is to remove the whole package, and find some thing else (AVG?), and thank your lucky stars that it was only being resource hungry that turned you off the program.
I have heard so many horror stories and experienced one of my own, that there is no way that I'll ever use their product again.
There is way better out there, some of it's even free :)
cheers,
jason

Hi,
I just upgraded my RAM from 512 to 1024 and reinstalled Norton AV 2006 and it works just fine. Very weird. It's the last time I will be buying the product though.

I have NAV 2006 with 512 RAM and have no problem.
Have used Nortons for years.

Peter,
Glad to see someone's happy with NAV- Of course, you only see 'brick bats' in these forums- There are a great many out there that have no problems whatsoever with NAV or whatever AV they choose.

Re: Norton AV 2006
That's so true. It's hit and miss sometimes. I tried to install Panda AV on my children's computer because everyone was raving how great it was - I had to spend hours trying to clean up the computer as it would no longer boot after having installed it. It happened twice.
You have to find one that suits your system and stick with it. Nortons has saved my back umpteen times but I know others swear AT it rather than swear BY it.

Re: Norton AV 2006
Hi Peter, at least you could uninstall it. I am having real problems trying to uninstall Norton's A/V. I can't uninstall and can't re-install, all because 1 file is corrupted/missing.
The file is not missing, and I have replaced it with the same file from my second computer, but that did not work.
The file name is ccemlpxy.dll, which scans email. Going to the Norton's site is a waste of time. I have edited the regedit file but that too, was unsuccessful so I think a reformat is the only way to go, but what a pain. Maybe someone else has a cure for this problem?
Cheers

Haitch,
Try running CCleaner. It may fix the problem. Good luck.

Re: Norton AV 2006
Hi Peter,
After editing the regedit file for about an hour (about 200 entries), I managed to use crapcleaner to get rid of several files "marked" for deletion but never deleted. So I have now installed a new 2006 version of Nortons.
so thanks for the CCLEANER TIP.
keep my fingers crossed for the next Nortons problem. The Nortons site is a waste of time.
cheers
Haitch
