Ccsvchost.exe is a service host file in Windows that handles several other services. The common error message associated to one of the service files is ccsvchost.exe – application error – memory could not be read. It indicates conflicts with Windows XP SP3 and one of the patches downloaded by Norton Internet Security.

The problem is quite annoying for Windows users because it causes the system to auto-shutdown every few minutes when Norton Security is running in the background. You can try reinstalling Norton Security or updating the software to newest version. If the problem persists, contact Norton Tech Support for the best solution or patch they have.
