Windows Search Looping

Has anyone ever seen the search feature in XP continuously loop between
search and a finished state? I have changed changed the settings to advanced
and turned off the dog! The search returns results, but then automatically
starts to search again, this looping never ends.
General Infornation:
There is no event log entry
it is in a domain environment
we are searching a network share
updates are controlled by WSUS and are 100% up to date.
It is running symantec Antivirus corp 10 with latest updates
There appears to be no spyware on the system, it is running malicious
software removal tool.
Thanks in advance

Show the hidden files and folders Rightclick C:\Windows\Inf\srchasst.inf Click install. The required file is in ../I386 folder on
the XP CD
