As of the past couple months, I have been the victim of serious hard drive thrashing from csrss.exe and ccsvchst.exe. Together, these two processes completely commandeer my PC, making it practically impossible to do anything until they're done.
Is there a way to actually take control of my own computer? Can't I put these processes on a low-priority tier or force them to require my approval before they attempt to access my drive for reads and/or writes?
Before I uninstall Symantec (ccsvchst) and try out Microst Security Essentials, I want to at least attempt to reign in these two processes. There is no reason why they need to access my drive to the point where I cannot use my computer.
Edit: I will add that there are a ton of threads on the internet with people complaining about this issue, especially from ccsvchst.exe. However, as usual, the discussion threads are pages long each and consist of nothing but different people joining the thread with This is happening to me, too. Any solution yet?. I am hoping experts of SE have what it takes to actually address this issue.
