Description | |||
Common process for older versions of Symantec's security products including Norton Internet Security and the now discontinued Norton Personal Firewall, Norton AntiSpam and Norton SystemWorks suite. Without this service running HTTP (web) and SMTP (email) connections fail. It works like a proxy server, acting as an intermediary for requests to/from network services - such as blocking access to domains (websites) and inappropriate pages (content filtering). Loads via a registry "RunServices" key in 98/Me and as a service in XP. Located in %ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Symantec Shared, this should not be confused with Youngzsoft's CCProxy proxy server software which is found in either %Root%\CCProxy or %ProgramFiles%\CCProxy | |||
