I am using Windows Xp operating system on my computer and also have Norton Internet Security 2010 installed on my computer for getting rid of Viruses. But, my computer is working very slow from some days. So, I open my task manager to see which process are running on my computer. Overthere I come to know that the process with the name as ccproxy.exe is taking about 94,000K. So, can anyone give me details about it? Is it any virus file which is slowing my computer speed?
