I want anything Symantic off my computer. Norton is a resource hog and I can't delete symlcsvc.exe even after Norton Anti-Virus has been removed
  Eric  

it is a registry key that is installed when installing norton, and not uninstalled when you have unistalled norton. it doesnt take up any of my memory but i am suspicious considering i no longer have norton, and that this registry key is still classed as active, well it could be a host for other programmes .....

It is Norton related and shouldnt be there
  none  

This error come when the symantec core lc service stops itself to get rid of the error we have to download symkbfix tool form symantec .com i.e goto "http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/custserv.nsf/0/6946186537608bf6882571b200047426?OpenDocument" run this file and reboot the pc .

It gets a bit dodgy when you try to delete it, you cannot remove it like a normal file so google ways to delete it

It is currently consuming over 5000 system handles on my machine, which is outrageous. System handle shortages can cause all kinds of problems. Consider this process dangerous if system stability is important to you.

Essential process for checking your license for Norton products, so they can be updated

It's Norton System Works which corrupts your Windows, Norton and corrodes your whole system

I know it was still on my computer@ C:\ProgramFiles\CommonFiles\Symantecshared\CCPD-LC with three other dll files symlcnet, symlcrst, & symlctnk. After I removed Symantec and ran their removal tool fro their site. The exe file won't let me do a normal removal so doing the little File Removal Prg that you put the name of the file in to remove then reboot.
