as said, automatic update, but personally I have it disabled, so I don't know why it still runs.

I've unistalled Norton because it was so useless, but this file won't go away!
   

Runs in the background even when automatic live update is disabled. Seems to run every hour; noticably slows fast system creating long pauses.

Apparently this was used by 2 copanies - 1 to "slam" my phone bill and the other to write an e-check on my checking account! Since I no longer use (& have uninstalled completely) Norton products off my windows machine, AND I set a firewall with an "ask Permission" setting (most are simply higher settings) and I'm still seeing this, as well as my computer turning itself on (another issue), I'm scraping Windows altogether and going to LINUX. Windows is SO vunerable and insecure, AND there are SO many viruses, scams, etc. winblows is no longer worth it AND LINUX is free for everyone!!! :)

its a harmless updater for norton antivirus. Its made by symantec who is a trusted company. However if you dont have norton it could be malware.
