its eating all my music and is using all my memory...my laptop suddenly became really SLOW!!
  Irritated..hm.  

That it eats up my memory and I can do nothing about it. When I complained to Norton about problems I am having with their programs, they were unable to help, but did send several emails asking if the problem was resolved. Oh well, another price of living in a technological era!!

I think this symantec ccproxy.exe is a spyware that symantec uses/share your internet surfing habits with other big companies like google and others. When this is on, it also connected to google, and other sites. And when I disable it, those other sites go away. You can't disable just this services which is part of other symantec anti virus/firewall software, it also disables internet connection. Just be aware, possible this may be spyware.

This application is very important to protecting your PC from incoming hackers and etc, and if it takes up that much system resources, you need a major upgrade to at least a AMD Athlon XP 1900+ and at least 512 mbs of RAM, if you're any lower, you might problems. I have Norton myself and it's the easiest and best Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, and Firewall I've ever used, and if you need some less than that use microsoft firewall, and some free anti-virus and etc, you might as well say good-bye to your pc.

ccProxy is also a proxy server for windows! But then any virus file can also be named ccProxy.exe. So check if a ccProxy server is running or not. If not then something is suspicious.

This is simply a result of a hacked version of the program.

Symantec Norton that is using proxy to index all your antivirus files and match them with online automatic background updates. I wonder if you remember to update manually DO YOU really need it churning through your processor and not allowing other programs online because you and I are out of memory or processor capacity?

I know it starts off OK, after a couple of connections to the Internet, my CPU usage and process go to 100%, even after all other activity has stopped. can't use it and have to reboot.

N.I.S. It uses virtually no cpu and 5888 KB of ram. The guy who complains it makes fry cry crawl. You only have 256mb of system ram far cry needs more.
  Ian  

Norton Internet security; uses 45-110MB ram, but only uses cpu during attacks, scans, etc.
  Blasterman  

Not dangerous.. Well.. You guys who only have 500megs ram.. Go get some more.. It's only using 10 megs of my 2gigs

Many people are right on both sides. It is a good program but it has been corrupted by a virus. Mine has is using a lot of memory too, it so bad that the system crashes. I beleive it is a trojan virus that is related to the explorer.exe file. I can't find a way to fix it either and I have been working on it for days. I did use Norton to close all my ports and have to approve everything that accesses my computer. Pain in the but but it has fixed the usage problem until I find the fix.
