NAV2003 CommonClient - what is it?

**charlesvar** · 16th December 2003

I reinstalled XP for someone and they put NAV2003 on. Out of curiosity, went looking for CommonClient's function and ran into a "brick wall" on what it's function is.

Below are two samples of references that I ran across about CC, but here and in others, not one word about what it does.

Does anyone have a clue as to what it does?

In May, when my current NAV2002 subscription is up for renewal, if I can't stick with 2002, will go elsewhere. Currently run NOD32 on WinME because of the light load on 9X resources. On XP, if not NAV, will use yet a third brand.

Hi Charles!

Maybe I´m pointing out the obvious but Common Client is kind of a "supervisor" which sees to that all parts of Norton is running as supposed.

Go to TASK LIST PROGRAMS and search for ccApp, ccEvtMgr and CCPRYSVC which might add to the confusion ......

Hi Christer,

Thanks, I overlooked the obvious place to look.

My original impression of this and NAV subsequent to NAV2002, especially of 2004, is that of bloat, just shear inefficiency.

CC creates a BHO, wants to get on line from startup, and from your reference, can't control it the way LiveUpdate could be.

All in all, a vast improvement - Not!
