Hey! I bought Norton Internet Security 2010 for my Desktop PC and my Laptop (it has 3 licenses) a few months ago! I installed on my desktop PC about a month ago and everything worked perfect up till today! While I was working I noticed a very slow speed on my computer, I run taskmanager and saw a process called
ccsvchost.exe taking up 90% of my CPU! I run Microsoft process viewer and found out that this process belongs to Symantec! I opened my NIS 2010 panel and on the left, where it says CPU usage, it indeed said 90% CPU usage and it was all taken up by NIS!
I read on the web that it may be a deadlock between symantec update and microsoft windows update but since I have windows updates turned of possibly this is not the case with me!
What's the possible cause of that?! As I saw on the web there are a lot of people facing the same problem! Also what can be done to stop this from happening?! I would appreciate it if a Symantec employee answered my question meaningfuly so as to solve my problem because it's getting in the way of my work!
Thank you a lot in advance!
Note that I'm using a Microsoft Windows XP SP3 machine with 2GB of RAM and 750GB (250GB + 500GB) of disk space! My CPU is an AMD Athlon 3500+ 64bit at 2.21GHz!
