VPTray.exe (Symantec) VirusProtect Shield System Tray icon for Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition 7.x. As with all Norton AntiVirus products this icon enables you to start Norton AntiVirus in order to configure it, run a virus scan, do a LiveUpdate, etc⦠Recommendation : Unlike with other Norton AntiVirus products, there are significant problems with the VPTRAY process which comes with the Corporate Edition, from the inability of Windows to start due to timing problems associated with VPTRAY, 100% CPU usage by VPTRAY, and other problems. Since you can access all Norton AntiVirus features through "Start Programs", if you experience Windows start-up problems, performance problems, or crashes which you have difficulty tracking, then disable VPTRAY with Startup Manager.
