Earlier today I received a notification that norton had found and removed a virus (unfortunately I didn't catch the name), a few hours later most of my desktop icons stopped working (when I double click on them the icon greys out and nothing happens). I tried to run a full system scan multiple times but the scan always gets stuck at around 3k files scanned. I have to alt-ctrl-del to exit norton. I rebooted in safe mode and attempted to run the scan again but like before it keeps hanging. In safe mode it hangs at around 500 files scanned (the specific file its freezing at is "MSPQM"). I'm running windows XP with service pack 3.
