There's one simple solution: move to linux (preferably ubuntu).
In the dark ages when I still used windows and symantec products I found myself constantly trying to find out how to shut them down (which is not so easy).
The first stage of my transition was to start using AVG antivirus and some light firewall which I don't remember. However, even with AVG I found myself constantly trying to make it work.
Eventually I switched to linux from other reasons but I don't have to deal with this sort of stuff anymore.

Not so shocking if you work in a job that doesn't require it. Think about it.
