Symantec crashing : 7031

[sunilk9]

Every 15-20 minutes I get a message box on the computer.

Microsoft visual C++ runtime library
runtime error
c:\program files\symantec antivirus\smc.exe
This application has caused the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.Please contact the application support team.

Also I see the following message in the event log:
Event ID 7031 / Error / "The Symantec Management Client service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this # time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 1000 milliseconds: Restart the service."
