Norton IS 2005 ccApp.exe breaks email

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

Norton Internet Security 2005 is installed on a newly rebuilt W2k SP4
workstation where the drive was wiped before the re-build. Standard software
ins installed, Office 2002, Photoshop etc. No viruses or spyware present as
best I can tell. This is a standard configuration I have personally run
without issue which includes NIS 2005.

Norton in generating the below mentioned error message that ends up breaking
email communications in Outlook (ISP is CableOne - they point to Norton) I
have uninstalled and re-installed the application several times and carefully
went over all settings, rules etc. When NIS is completely disabled or
uninstalled this problem goes away.

I have seen this error well documented on private geek message boards,
nothing on Symantec or Microsoft. I am not able to find a fix only comments
about there being some service or process conflict.

I have used msconfig to try to narrow it down with intermittent results.
Just when I think I found the offending service, I return to normal start up
settings with the perceived offending service stopped or removed from the
registry RUN keys and the problem returns. I was looking at qttask.exe
(QuickTime) and the nVidia driver. But after uninstalling those items
completely I still had the problem.

So here is what happens:

I test email send / receive and it works. Then I run a tracert. At about
16 hops, sometimes earlier, the CPU spikes to about 80% Usage and the error
is generated. This error appears to ALWAYS be associated with a CPU Usage
spike. This is documented on the boards and I can consistently repeat this.
After the error, mail breaks and the main NIS ccApp.exe process ends. You
have to re-boot to reload NIS.

Tracert is not the only thing that generates this error, it does happens in
Outlook, the original symptom. I just used tracert to force it to observe
the CPU and see if it was consistently repeatable, which it is.
