| takes a lot of memory |
| simple and in fact not dangerous |
thomas | part of norton internet security package |
Kay_Wren | part of Norton internet security |
Donnald | Eats about 6 - 35% of CPU. (I have 2.4 Ghz, 1 Gb RAM) |
Gerald | Norton Security - ccProxy.exe |
Joe | I noticed when I connect to Yahoo Messenger ccproxy makes a network connection...also when my webcam loads it makes another network connection with the beginning IP address of 68. |
Roger | Norton Internet Security ÜBERWACHUNG ist notwendig für die Sicherheit |
Mich | Norton Internet Security |
°°°Phantom°°° | ccProxy.exe ist die Norton-Schnittstelle zwischen dem Computer und dem Internet. Statt der Windows-Anwendungen greift diese EXE auf das Internet zu. Benötigt besonders viel RAM, wenn unter Norton Internet Security die Kindersicherung aktiviert wurde (ca. 150MB) |
It Sucks | I understand this is NIS, however when my computer is on for any significant amount of time, this process runs at around 97% and makes my CPU reach 100%% usage slowing my system to a crawl. |
Mark | If this service dies, http (web) and smtp (email) connections fail... you can go into services (admin tools) and restart it (it is called Symantec Network Proxy in services) |
Rich F | It's NIS but if you're not set up to use network proxy don't need it.so I think most home users can avoid it. |
| Norton Security? Its eating 80% of CPU |
Phil | Its freakin' using 100 megs of my RAM! |
Skeetch | Norton Internet Security |
Cally | Uses loads of memory |
Jutiniano | take a lot of memory |
Akil Hashim | Norton Internet Security is worth the memory loss of it’s overhead. Now I can see if someone is scanning my ports, when, get their ip and block them. The logging of data is not hard to understand, nor interpret. This is an essential layer in a total secure network design. |
Wantin To Fix Flash | When you download stuff in flash get it download something at the same speed and if you limit the speed of it it limit the flash get speed to |
| Norton Internet Security |
AdiPol | Norton Internet Security |
PhaZ | its taking up 90+ cpu |
proxyamagedonman | it ate all my homework!!! very suspicious |
| Probably Symantec driver, however there is a lesser known trojan that launches a file with the same name. Only one instance of this driver should be running, check in win task manager, otherwise most likely you are infected. |
| after pc has been on for a while, anywhere from 1 minute to 1.5 hours, it eats 75% to 100% of my clock cycles. I don't even want a bloody proxy, but neither Norton Net Security or Windows will let me kill it! Completely Ridiculous. WinXP Home SP2, P4 3.4 GHz, 1.0 GB RAM, dozens of GB of empty hard disk space, defragging & continous virus scans dont help. The only times ccproxy doesnt ruin my computer within 1.5 hours is when ccapp occassionally does the same thing first! Makes me think I'll never buy Symantec again. |
costickt | Taking 120MB memory on my 500MB system. This only seems to have started since I set up a NetGear SC101 NAS drive and installed Roxio Media Suite 8. |
Somethief | Norton internet security, Parental control |
Steve | Takes up alot of memory and slows my laptop down |
Phillip_2005 | It's just norton Security... If you think it's taking too much ram... Buy some more RAM! |
Toxif | Also Leute die Datei gehört zum Norton Internet Security Packet und klaut euch ziemlich viele Systemresourcen!!! Mein Tipp schmeist Norton runter und kauft euch ein anderes Antivirenprogramm, wenn ihr nicht genug RAM habt. Ansonsten lasst euch nicht von der Datei stören!!! |
Neil | ccproxy is a web proxy application for passing data from your private network to the internet. See also: Link |
Alekzandr | gives me a constant 51% cpu usage and i cant end process it HElp me pls |
Christian Falzon | I see many comments that it eats lots of CPU and memory - according to my task manager it has used just 6 minutes of CPU in 70 hours uptime and 6 Meg RAM. Maybe this increases when the system is under attack? |
GoogleRocks | Norton Anti-Spam; Crashes repeatedly. Symantec has no info available on the file. I don't trust it, who knows what it is doing... If I want a proxy server, I will set it up myself. No thanks Norton! See also: Link |
| It eats up 40MB of RAM!! Thank you Norton!! |
Snadge | This is a Norton IS 2006 process that monitors your network connections , it is essential that it is left to work, and i agree with AKIL, it is worth the memory loss as it is the best security package available Also it doesnt use 100Mb of my RAM only 6, the NIS 2006 Processes entirely use 50Mb so users with 90+ must have multiple Network connections..??? |
John | It takes a lot of RAM! It causes my laptop to be very slow and sometimes unresponsive. |
| Block's sun java virtual machine |
clonetron | It's so freakin scary because i'm losin my RAM memory a lot... |
| eats ram, install more/uses cpu upgrade asnd saves security and hacks |
Mark | It eats up 85% of CPU! :( |
Rawket | This program is used by my Ghost Surf program, when I end it I cannot access the internet |
Mike | Its the norton internet security proxy server process. Not dangerous at all. |
Shannon C. | I truely trust Nortons and don't believe this is a problem other than cpu usage. |
Aden Fraser | Norton Antivirus/Internet Security |
Gabriel | Take a lot of memory and cpu process |
rooster | Conflict btwn Symantec Antivirus 10 and ccproxy from youngzsoft |
Sym | slows down my browser distributed app using Ajax, so i disable the service. |
| Von Norton Internet Security. |
Matt | needed for Norton Internet Security ad/pop-up blocking. If using NIS for this, do not disable. |
asskickingdominator | Seems my most was looking for a solution to some bloodbhound virus. Symantec, a good brand name, now seems to be demanding money and claims the computer is slow while it is in fact what is slowing the computer using over 115MB of memory and running the CPU at 100%! I was not allowed to go into the task manager to shut off ccproxy.exe Seem like a hijacking to me. Very upset. My Far Cry program crawls. We have 256MB of ram and a X700 graphics card with another 256mb~! A good brand name now holding up my computer and requesting $50 to fix it. The address and location ought to be available. |
John Titor | There is something wrong with this file. As many ppl said here. It worked fine for about six months. Now suddenly it is eating 1gb of RAM and 100 of my CPU after being on a couple of days. WTF? Can't kill, not even with pstools...will try something else. Hate rebooting my machine!!!! |
Frustrated | Every time I shut down my computer or restart my computer, I get a ccProxy.exe Application Error, not even Symantec (Norton) can tell me how to stop this error message, nor why i am getting it, anybody out there know? |
covsoldier | norton proxy its security proram so its gonna have a proxy |
Novalogic | May lead to slow boot/shutdown proc. NIS application. |
Chad B | I went through the process of using the NIS online help thing, and i have no idea why but they told me to empty my temporary files folder and when i did the CPU usage went to 00 for the ccproxy.exe app. I have no problems now with system performance regarding the NIS06 ccproxy.exe. |
JK | Norton Parental Controls but it sometimes slows down my computer a lot |
Jim H. | You guys aint seen nothing, it takes up 800MB of my memory! |
Jane | Norton is the worst security program in the world together with mcafee. Just try Kaspersky or Dr. Web!! |
PQ | Can eat up CPU resources if it starts acting up. Go into services and stop the Symantec Network Proxy service and then start it again. Should work fine after that. |
Silox | Well, it really eats my CPU! Most off al it takes 99% so i can't play animore! |
gc | Norton personal firewall |
anonymous | all my friends and i believe it to be safe |
Mark | Is there a difference between the files "ccProxy.exe" and "CCPROXY.EXE". I see that someone has inferred that there could be a bogus file out there. Also - There are differing opionions about how much ram is being used by this process (6mb or 100mb) - I seem to be experiencing a high volume of unexplained (internet) network traffic. |
Fraser | Norton Internet Security. I am trying to find out why it is using about 100MB of RAM. This seems to be a recent change, resulting in a slower PC. |
Jake | Hey close it and restart it mine was at 50 K then went down to 3k after closed and testarted |
James Sidbury | Its a part of Symantec Anti-Virus (many different versions) and with a clean install of a Symantec product it should work fine...however if you uninstall or upgrade different versions you may have registry problems that can be quite difficult to diagnose completely |
Ted | It isn't Norton's fault. What is happening is that you have a trojan horse sitting on you hard drive that is sending spam through the proxy server. The proxy server (outbound) is just letting you know that this is happening. Once you find the virus or trojan horse that has hijacked your e-mail (or at least your IP address), you can remove it and life will be good again. If you want to be part of the solution (against spam), then let this process run and figure out which process has hijacked your PC to send the Spam in the first place.. |
jaxsun | it is a part of norton internet security, most of the cc processes are, although it does eat ram like hell it isnt all that dangerous |
rhazer | ccProxy (or CCPROXY.exe as it appears in my task manager) is normally unintrusive, but when I start up, it drags enormous and fluctuating amounts of system memory. It's ridiculous. Thanks to various and unstoppable Norton applications, it takes my PC at least 15 minutes to finish booting. Oh, and does ccproxy have anything to do with the fact that LimeWire drags 99% of CPU when running? |
Joshua | norton's internet security and parental control- nuthing dangerous, though it does take up a bunch of RAM (just get more!) |
ashish.gupta | not at all dangerous, Its a proxy server from youngzsoft See also: Link |
Bob | Norton related. REsource hog |
mop | See also: Link |
CMac | used to implement parental control over intenet usage. This process should be disabled if you do not wish to enforce parental control over your computer's internet usage. See also: Link |
| Runs fine, most of the time... until you try and access certain games. I being a gamer, hate this. ccProxy and ccApp eat 100% of my 3.4Ghz Pentium D. Rather irritating. |
Zone Labs user | I'm using ZoneLabs, and it shows that CCPROXY goes out to different destinations. Like akamai.net. avon.com, etc. |
Dean | This file is running at 100Mb or more because you have "Parental Control" turned on in Norton Internet Security. Simply turn off "Parental Control" (if you don't need it) ... and reboot. My ccproxy memory usage went from 104Mb to just over 5Mb |
gothacked | Didn't even have norton installed. To stop. goto services , change ccapp to disable. |
Teh_Tech | Don't buy Norton if you dont like it hogging your resources. It'll do that every time you log on. |
Saviour | To solve this problem, turn off the norton parental control this is what makes it so slow. |
pi79 | Ccproxy.exe is a process belonging to Symantec Internet Security Suite. This process allows you to setup basic Internet sharing |
Norton | Can't tell which is worse: ccProxy or a real virus. Viruses take over your computer and not let you use it as intended. That's what ccProxy and it NIS brethren do. NIS does not seem to care about user effeciency and when ccProxy malfunctions (as usual) your computer can't even seem to crawl. Plus I have to disable NIS for lots of Reator websites I have to use for my work. |
MD | Many people are right on both sides. It is a good program but it has been corrupted by a virus. Mine has is using a lot of memory too, it so bad that the system crashes. I beleive it is a trojan virus that is related to the explorer.exe file. I can't find a way to fix it either and I have been working on it for days. I did use Norton to close all my ports and have to approve everything that accesses my computer. Pain in the but but it has fixed the usage problem until I find the fix. |
Babyen | Not dangerous.. Well.. You guys who only have 500megs ram.. Go get some more.. It's only using 10 megs of my 2gigs |
Blasterman | Norton Internet security; uses 45-110MB ram, but only uses cpu during attacks, scans, etc. |
Ian | N.I.S. It uses virtually no cpu and 5888 KB of ram. The guy who complains it makes fry cry crawl. You only have 256mb of system ram far cry needs more. |
Barry Dent | I know it starts off OK, after a couple of connections to the Internet, my CPU usage and process go to 100%, even after all other activity has stopped. can't use it and have to reboot. |
carpeteater | Symantec Norton that is using proxy to index all your antivirus files and match them with online automatic background updates. I wonder if you remember to update manually DO YOU really need it churning through your processor and not allowing other programs online because you and I are out of memory or processor capacity? |
Hacker | This is simply a result of a hacked version of the program. See also: Link |
Ashish Gupta | ccProxy is also a proxy server for windows! But then any virus file can also be named ccProxy.exe. So check if a ccProxy server is running or not. If not then something is suspicious. See also: Link |
george | If you want a freakin fortress, use it, if not, get MacAfee or PC Cillin |
Steve - IT | It is 100% Norton Parental Controls - Installed as an Addon pack IN 2007 |
Gaige Lama | This application is very important to protecting your PC from incoming hackers and etc, and if it takes up that much system resources, you need a major upgrade to at least a AMD Athlon XP 1900+ and at least 512 mbs of RAM, if you're any lower, you might problems. I have Norton myself and it's the easiest and best Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, and Firewall I've ever used, and if you need some less than that use microsoft firewall, and some free anti-virus and etc, you might as well say good-bye to your pc. |
John | I think this symantec ccproxy.exe is a spyware that symantec uses/share your internet surfing habits with other big companies like google and others. When this is on, it also connected to google, and other sites. And when I disable it, those other sites go away. You can't disable just this services which is part of other symantec anti virus/firewall software, it also disables internet connection. Just be aware, possible this may be spyware. |
mjdistributor | That it eats up my memory and I can do nothing about it. When I complained to Norton about problems I am having with their programs, they were unable to help, but did send several emails asking if the problem was resolved. Oh well, another price of living in a technological era!! |
Irritated..hm. | its eating all my music and is using all my memory...my laptop suddenly became really SLOW!! |
craig | it's using my whole 3.4 ghz cpu |
