    ^With NIS2009, you'll see 2 processes running in Task manager, named ccsvchst.exe (Symantec Service Framework Executable) as already mentioned.
    Does your dad run a Symantec/Norton program?
    If so, there is no need to 'remove' it, if he doesn't use any Symantec/Norton program, it shouldn't be running though.
    Cheers.
