Which scandisk did you try to do? The thorough or the standard? If you chose thorough it does take hours! Try the standard :)) Also you say you closed almost everything, I only have explorer running when doing a scandisk or defrag so try that If none of these work there could be some spyware running in the background that you're not aware of
