After weeks of working on this issue, I may have solved it. Don't know if it had anything to do with the Windows Update I did this morning, but I don't think it did. I went into Settings, Antivirus, Scans and Risks, then turned the Compressed Files Scan to off. I ran another Complete scan and this went fine, no issues, no restarts to my computer. Whether luck is on my side or this finally fixed my problem, it worked. Hope it can work for you too and that it continues to work for me.
jb2boys: I don't know why NPE didn't work for you, but I ran the netboot, then scans and it cleared out a problem with my registry, seemed to fix the problem with no hassle, I've been using Norton for 3 years and its never gave me a problem, hope you stay a fan like I am-
sincerely,
