Can I run IIS and Symantec/Norton Internet Security 2005 on the same machine?

This is a reworked-repost of what I posted yesterday, plus some extra
info that I have gained in the last 24 hours with the help of Ken
(Thank you).

The problem is that I have just installed Symantec/Norton Internet
Security 2005 and it has locked up my web services.

I have tried to switch off all options for Symantec/Norton Internet
Security and got the same result.

Specifically, the World Wide Web Publishing service hung on starting.

So why has it not started?
I looked at the properties...
File path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe
It is set to auto start
Status: Starting
Logon: Use local system account
Failures: Take no action
Dependencies: IIS Admin

The log info for it shows…

The World Wide Web Publishing service hung on starting.

The service IISADMIN (C:\WINDOWS\System32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exe) IS
RUNNING.

Also, when I take menu option... Start - Control Panel -
Administrative Tools - Internet Information Services, Nothing happens

The question that I have is:
Can I run IIS on the same machine as I am running Symantec/Norton
Internet Security 2005 on?
If not, how should I protect my laptop when I am in the field and I
need to connect it to the net?

Environment
Opp Sys: Win XP Pro V5.1
Visual Studio: MS Development Environment 2003 V7.1.3088
Dot Net Framework: V1.1.4322
IE: V6.0

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Greg
