My Webroot Secure Anywhere caught a threat "95d3.tmp.exe" and put it in a queue and then labeled the infection as "W32.Trojan.Gen".  I clicked to remove the threat and the message "Threat removal us now in progress..." came up and the in progress show very little progress for over an hour.  Is it working or do I need to do somethin else?
