About 50% of the time I try to shut down my computer I get a "program not responding" and I have to end it now. The program is "ccSvcHst" this just started about a month ago. When it does this, it takes about 5 minutes for my system to fully shut down. It is getting annoying, does anybody know what this is or how to fix it? I have tried every kind of scan and fix tool that I know of. Repaired windows files, cleaned registry, cleared restore points, defrag, ran full Norton scan. Nothing seems to work. I keep my hard drive very clean and free of clutter and bloatware. I have no clue what triggered this error.
- Windows XP Pro w/all updates
- Norton 360 w/all updates
Here is my hardware
- Motherboard - Chipset Intel i945P Dell Inc. 0FJ030
- Pentium D 3.2 GHz W/2 cores
Can anyone help me out?

The problem your having is with Norton. Try this first> You may not have a floppydisk station, where the option that Norton should scan this station at shutdown is probably enabled. Disable this option, if you do not have a floppydisk station, also disable this in your bios.
-- Start Norton Antivirus (NAV) 2007
-- Select Auto protect under "Settings"
-- Select configure
-- Under real-time Protection,Select General settings.
-- In the right pane, uncheck "Scan floppy disk in A: for boot viruses when shutting down."
-- Click ok
-- Restart the computer.
Your not the only one in this situation. It seems to happened from a update from them. Probably enabled floppy option in norton. Personally, I would uninstall the program but thats me. Hope this helps you.....

I agree with the last two posts. If you can, get rid of norton. I had nothing but problems with it. Like one of the posts stated. I also got a trojan thru norton and crashed/ruined my hard drive. I replaced the hard drive and now stand behind two firewalls.One firewall is hardware and the second is software. I also use a program by microcrap(microsoft) called defender. It works for me. I have not had any problems since I ditched norton three years ago. This may not work for everyone. You do have to get a little tech savy when it comes to some of the software thats out here. You also have to be very aware of the websites you visit. Even using google can be great but can lead you to trouble. As far as recommending a ant-virus. You will have to shop around. Check out cnet website. Its a technical site and gives you more insight on the best suite that fits your needs. If you want to keep norton. You need to research your problem some more on the web. Hope that helps........

I just took that (Comodo) annoying POS off one of my laptops Thursday. When I choose to apply a setting to all future events that occur by a .dll. Thats what I want the software to do...ignore it. Not flood me with notification screens every 4 seconds. I would spend my money on ESet NOD32 first.
Comodo lacked the source list to remove 4 current issues within my primary PC. I had to manually remove one, then have ESet reinstalled to quarantine the other 3.
I spend too much time on warez sites
An additional note:
ccSvcHst is not native to just Norton. It seems some smart ### Japanese teen has figured a way to use it with his new toy...which I promptly downloaded last week and filled 50 gigs of HD space with meaningless gibberish within 2 hours.
The little b#### managed to write code that hi-jacked every piece of software that utilized a net connection. If one was shut down, another took it's place. If it couldn't use Explorer, it opened messenger, if that failed, it opened WinAmp...the list goes on and on.
Yup..I've had a bad week. But it's over now. At least I didn't have to format the #### thing.
