I would say some slow moving files is a small price to pay for what a virus
or trojan could do - including severe system performance issues.

Your system admin can set a "blanket policy" for a network installation.
In addition, your admin can also set policies on a per user/computer basis
that will overide the "blanket" policy.

Including what to scan, how often, how deep, under what actions/conditions
etc...
The admin can also give you as an individual the ability to disable real
time scan (not recommended). All this is done through the Symantec MMC on
the server.

Know what your company policies on this subject are. You may just have to
live with it.
After all, you wouldn't want to be responsible for releasing a virus or
trojan on your network because you disabled virus protection.
