Posted April 19, 2007 Urrr, I have gotten a virus, very stuiply. Anyway, it's messing with everything and it is all happening on a process called "CCAPP.exe", anyway, when I try to end it, it won't let me - says permission is denied. Any way of solving this? (also, I have a mac, so please don't suggest that) edit: Also to make it clear, the virus is on my PC - not my Mac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 19, 2007 Have you tried running a virus scan? (Get a Use your Mac!) Norton brough up nothing, getting avg at the moment - and will scan ASAP. I know... I should more often. It's just that the disc space it so limited due to my copious amounts of raw video footage... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just that the disc space it so limited due to my copious amounts of raw video footage... Norton never brings up anything! It might be spyware btw. Pick up Spybot Search and Destroy.

Posted April 19, 2007 apparently its a file thats part of norton, so norton wouldnt bring it up, google ccap.exe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2007 Avast! Antivirus is awesome. You install it, it reboots your PC and runs a full PC scan (in those blue start up screen things). I've had it for 2 years and havn't had a single virus. http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 19, 2007 As Takeo said, CCApp is actually a norton file, I believe it's the main app that runs as part of norton. How do you know it's a virus, and what exactly is happening? If it IS a virus on the actual antivirus software, I'd have to say you seem a bit buggered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 20, 2007 Come to think of it, I had norton on an old pc. Something like this hapened, and in the end, I just got a new one, because everything got so bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 20, 2007 Norton is horrible, its practically a virus itself the way it's always seemed to slow down my PCs. McAffee i find much nicer in a commercially available antivirus +security packages, or Avast is pretty good for a freebie. sorry none of that helps lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 20, 2007 Try Kaspersky free for a month or nod32. Just go to their sites and they're easy enough to find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 20, 2007 Kaspersky is apparently really good, i'm just a fool who can't change his AVG ways! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
