Here's part of the answer; do a man awacsd in terminal.
awacsd -- Apple Wide Area Connectivity Service daemon
awacsd is an executable invoked by launchd to facilitate connections between devices using Back to My Mac. Users cannot invoke awacsd from the command line.
Something related to MobileMe I think.

You should uninstall the worse-than-useless Norton product.
Do you have a suggestion for what to use instead?
Currently, Mac computers do not require any anti-virus programs and when installed, the anti-virus programs often cause problems.
