Work puts corporate editions of Symantec Antivirus and Firewall on every laptop. They put SAV on the servers they manage.

As long as there is enough memory and spare disk it just works. On this laptop the scan engine is currently using 142MB of RAM and about 1G of disk. It needs about another 500MB temp space when merging updates.

It seems that the home version is less stable (almost as if the home users are beta testers for the corporate edition), and the home systems quite often don't have the RAM or disk to cope.
