Was running through Thids an hour or two ago and all of sudden I started to get ludicrous amounts of gfx lag where I shouldn't be getting any lag at all. It was alright up to that point and a quick alt-ctrl-delete showed the cause:
www.file.net/process/ccpxysvc.exe.html
It was using up 100% of my CPU's power. As far as I can tell, it's usually alright but it's like a time bomb, occassionally going ballistic for no apparent reason and staying that way until, just as mysteriously it came, it leaves.
Now, I haven't updated my copy of Norton Internet Security since sometime in 2006, the subscription has long since expired, it throws up an annoying subscription message whenever I start my computer (which can't be disabled), and overall I'd just like to dump the program. Norton has always given me problems and I've already long ago dumped the anti-virus part for Anti-vir.
So I was wondering if any of you had any advice? Know of any good free firewalls (don't tell me the built in windows one)? My router has its own firewall and it catches most things but occassionally one or two things get through.
