How do you stop ccsvchst.exe

I am also not sure that Norton running in the background actually demands that much of the CPU. Unless the activity being done with Tunebite involves a lot of file accessing, Auto-Protect should remain very quiet.

In this laptop, with Norton doin absolutely nothing, it's running about 12,k in task manager, both processes combined. It is interesting that after disabling everything on the main interface, the CPU usage went up to 20,k. Apparently the warning systems kicked in. Another thing I can think of is to add that program to NIS so that it would turn on quiet mode everytime it runs. To do that go to the "miscellinous settings" section in your settings. Scroll down and lock for User-Specified programs and click configure:.

Then browse to the location of the program and double click on it to add it to the list. Then click "OK" on all the menus. Silent mode only drops the memory usage down to about k on my system and that can still go up or down depending on what is happening in the machine.

Silent mode does not stop Norton from doing what it needs to do, it merely suppresses some of the back ground tasks and notifications. Use of Sysinternals' tools reveals quite a bit Process Monitor shows that that ccsvchst.

Yes, I completely understand the desire and need to protect one's computer, but I'll be damned if this software will arrogantly DENY me-the adminstrator, the OWNER-any method of terminating its processes, short of uninstalling the software. Otherwise, this sort of "dominance" over a user's computer is almost as bad-if not worse than-the very viruses and malware it's supposed to protect us from.

Norton used to allow complete termination of its processes but made this change around or can't remember for sure what year because it is a common method for malware to attempt to terminate your security program. Since many users are logged on as an Administrator it creates additional risk of malware being able to leverage the users credentials and shut down your security software.

So conceptually I agree with you that there should be a way of doing so but Symantec is attempting to strike the right balance between user control vs providing proper security.
