Error when using Norton Internet Security 2010

That problem was due to a patch that was deployed to update all users to the latest revision of Norton Internet Security version 16.7.2.10. While for many the patch was deployed without an error, for others the experience was not as good. Unfortunately, you are one of the others.

The temporary solution for this (if you run Windows XP) is to go to Start > Run. Type in services.msc. Find the Norton Internet Security and double click on it. Go into the Recovery tab in the dialog. Set all three responses to “Restart The Service.”

For now, this is a handy solution so you do not have to restart your PC to get Norton running again until Symantec sort this problem.

I thought the problem was from the “svchost.exe” file but it appears it is a different file called “ccSvcHst.exe”.

The “ccSvcHst.exe” file is part of Norton Internet Security and is also known to slow down Windows startup processes and may also display the following message: “The instruction at “0x059a2df” referenced memory at 0x059a2df” the memory could not be written. Click OK to terminate the Program”, which is somewhat similar to the one you have. There are several ways to fix it.

First, try to update your Norton Internet Security. If the error doesn’t prevent you from logging in, log in to your account and update the program. One possible reason for the error is corrupt virus definitions. After updating, restart your computer and see if it works. But if the error still appears, uninstall and reinstall the program. Download the free version of Revo Uninstaller and install it.

Once this is installed, start Revo Uninstaller then select your Norton Internet Security among the applications and click “Uninstall”. Follow the normal uninstall process. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click to restart later. When uninstall is complete, click “Scan” to scan your computer for any leftover files and delete everything it finds. This will remove everything the program created on your computer.

When it is finished, close Revo Uninstaller then restart the computer. After booting, install Norton Internet Security again and update it. See if this works.
