    It's a valid Norton file, certainly with NAV2003 and NAV2005, not sure about NPF. The directory looks correct too.

    Like Bigbuck already explained, it's a valid Norton file and correct directory.

    IMHO: a FP:)

    It's not detecting it as a trojan. It's simply a list of your startup apps. The value ccApp is pointing to ccApp.exe....a valid file in your symantec folder. What spybot is saying is that some malware 'pretends' to be ccApp......but in that case it would point to a random filename (like WMADZ.exe) and this would probably be in the Windows directory, not Symantec.
    Cheers.

    alright, now after explaining, i seems to understand abit about what it means...
    so value is "ccApp" and filename is "ccApp.exe" and its inside Symantec's folder...that means its safe if its inside the "correct" folder and "correct" filename... :)

    thanks bigbuck & Smokey for the explaination...

    thanks!
