Whenever I run a scan either to the PC or simply to a flash drive it starts to scan then suddenly gets stuck randomly.

How long are you giving it to complete?
What happens if you scan a USB with only a couple of files on it?
Whatever you're scanning above has 241,000 files. It's going to take a while.
It also depends on the types of files, your PC's processing power etc
The blue indication bar might not be moving, but that doesn't mean the scan isn't doing anything.

I just tried scanning a flash drive with a few files, the first time it got stuck after 4 seconds then it finished the scan completely on the second run.

When it gets stuck it freezes completely.
