I suggest installing/using NIS 2008 if you wish to use a Symantec application
for security and protection, you can configure it to do as you wish and more.
I've been using Norton/Symantec products since way back when without any issues
what-so-ever of any concern. I've also tested a number of other security
applications of which IMO none were better and many were worse, especially when
it boiled down to scanning the levels of archive files (zipped). No matter what
application anyone or you choose to install/use, performance of any application
and any machine will vary from machine to machine due to may variables.
