I have a problem regarding the quick scan. Recently, when the PC was idle, the hard drive was working for over one hour (the light was flashing). I thought that Norton would perform a full scan in the background but later I checked the history and saw that a quick scan was performed and that it took over an hour (normally it takes 5-6 minutes). I then performed it manually again but when scanning for SecurityRisk.FlushDNS it didn't proceed (I think it would take a long time again to continue). I couldn't even stop the scan.
A reboot didn't solve the issue.
Is this a problem with a recent Live Update or is it my PC?
I am using Norton Internet Security 2014 and Windows 7 64 Bit.

Symantec is aware of the problem and forum administrator Tony Weiss will be posting an update in kiwih's thread here when they find a solution.

Hi chris4565:
Symantec released an update for the virus definitions via LiveUpdate set this weekend that should have sovled the problem - see Tony Weiss' post here.
