Me, too. I love my Mac. But file sharing between Mac and Windows is 
easy. You just make a Shared Folder on the PC and use the IP address 
of a Mac to Map its drive, or whatever. I don't even remember what 
you do, but it's easy. In about one hour (obviously) knowing nothing, 
I got a network working all ways, between Macs between Macs and a 
Windows machine, and even between Windows in Parallels on the Mac to 
the real Windows machine and to the Macs on the network.

I suspect your problem is more the Norton than the PC.  Maybe you 
have it buttoned down one step too tightly?
