Error message RCApp.exe pops up frequently

by abbyd9 . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

For several days now I have received a pop-up error message that says: “RCApp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” This message causes an Application Error entry in the Event Viewer that says: “Faulting application RCApp.exe, version 1.0.0.2, faulting module kernal32.dll, version 5.1.2600.3119, fault address 0x00012a5b.”

The Event Viewer says this error always follows an occurance of Automatic Live Update.

A Google search shows many other people having this problem lately with both Windows XP sp 2 & 3 and Vista. Suggestions point to Norton Internet Security but Symantec says the problem is with Microsoft. There is no performance problem with this error but it pops up a dozen times a day and is annoying. Does anyone have a clue what this is and how to get rid of it.
