From: BBQ on 20 Mar 2010 08:19 When starting up Windows/XP with any user in the system brings up the user page but hangs. The disk is running something. The internet modem is always disabled. I bring up the task manager and I am in idle 99% with no visible processes running. I select shut down and get two messages. The first is ccSvcHst running and it won't close, so I end it. The second in exployer.exe and I also have to force it to end. Rebot and everything is ok that day.

According to the search engine, "ccSvcHst" is a Norton file. And as for the second one "exployer.exe", is that how it is spelled ? http://www.pctools.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-22119.html When I do a search on my computer for "explorer.exe", I find copies in C:\Windows and C:\Windows\system32\dllcache . Maybe the exployer.exe is malware ? Paul

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit) when posting in a forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply. What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)? Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought it)?
