    ccApp.exe is Norton's transparent anti-virus proxy. You need to select
    to let Norton's firewall create an application rule automatically. If
    that doesn't work, go into the application rules for the firewall,
    delete those for Norton stuff (to force a relearn when they next run),
    including ccapp.exe, and then select automatic configuration when you
    get the alert again.

    You may get multiple alerts depending on which options you have enabled
    under Options -> Internet Security -> Firewall, called "Check access
    settings ..." and "When one program launches another, ...".
