I noticed the same thing when running scans with spybot. A quick search eventually pointed me to this FAQ from their site.

Why does the scan hang during detection of C2.lop? link FAQ #022
The exact reason isn't yet known, as this error seems to be sporadic and only on a few machines, but there's a simple way around it. Start Spybot-S&D in advanced mode, open the Excludes section, and select C2.lop for exclusion of the scan (tick the checkbox in front of the C2.lop entry). This will avoid scan of C2.lop until a bugfix comes out (soon).
Update: Some reports have confirmed that this happened only after installation of the Zone Alarm firewall, and stopped by deactivating ZoneAlarm.
Update: Cleaning the Windows Temp folder will help as well. Newer Windows versions provide a tool for this. Open your start menu at Programs -> Accessoires -> System and you'll see a harddisk cleaner.
