Norton-Symantec and U-verse

I have Symantec and just  U-verse installed.

I have noticed that my U-verse stops whenever I try to log on to the Internet, and when Symantec is disabled all works great!!!

I was told that U-verse uses McFee and I believe these two are not compatible..

Can anyone help

Are there things that I can disable in my Norton Symantec in order for all programs to get along?
