There may be a "Scan on startup" option that can be changed.
I don't use consumer Symantec products, so other than that I have no idea.
Keep in mind that if your computer is off for a while and you have Automatic Updates in Windows on, it and Liveupdate may try to run at the same time to see if there's updates - and this can slow the machine to a crawl.
