Yeah, I have Norton but I'm not a great fan of it. It gets buggy and it misses a lot of viruses. I had a major worm on my computer and I used a free antivirus called Avast! and it took it right off. Use AdAware and Spybot with Norton, it's just not dependable.
 

1. What is ccApp and what does it do?

ccApp is a process related to Symantec's Norton AntiVirus software. It is responsible for managing program updates, email scanning, and other security features.

2. Why is ccApp causing interference and shutting down my laptop?

ccApp can sometimes cause conflicts with other programs, especially if there are multiple security programs running on your laptop. It may also be caused by corrupt or outdated program files.

3. How do I fix ccApp interference?

5. How can I prevent ccApp from shutting down my laptop in the future?

To prevent ccApp from causing interference and shutting down your laptop, make sure to regularly update your Norton AntiVirus software and avoid running multiple security programs at the same time. If the issue persists, you may need to contact Norton customer support for further assistance.
