SONAR is the abbreviation for Symantec Online Network for Advanced Response. Unlike virus signatures, SONAR examines the behavior of applications to decide whether they are malicious.
An algorithm is used to evaluate hundreds of attributes relating to software running on a computer. Various factors are considered before determining that a program is malicious, such as if the program adds a shortcut on the desktop or creates a Windows Add/Remove programs entry. Both of those factors would indicate the program is not malware. The main use of SONAR is to enhance detection of zero day threats. Symantec claims SONAR can also prevent attackers from leveraging unpatched software vulnerabilities

I'd personally recommend not using Norton for starters. It's pretty terrible.

I helped ozforce in the Lobby and got him to deactivate SONAR and his game worked fine.
Is there an option to add Darkspace to an exception list? If so that will make the game work.
Also +1 for getting rid of Norton. AVG is free and I have been using it for years with no problems or attacks.

If you dont download porn or use IE browser, then I dont understand why anyone would need any virus protection. Just pay attention to what your doing...

Microsoft Security Essentials is the best free AV you can get. Avast! is second. Avoid AVG, avoid Avira, avoid anything else.
Norton, paid for or not, is not a good AV solution. It is over zealous and will treat anything with even a remote similarity to a virus as a virus.
AV programs don't scan code (as they can only see the binary data), but if even the tiniest of bits of data in that binary code is similar to a virus, it will flag it as a virus. Even if the program is not a virus in any way, shape, or form, it is very easy for it to have the smallest bit of binary data be the same as a virus.
To some this is fine, as they want their PC to be virus free no matter the cost. But in the real world, it's ridiculously OTT, and a selling point for Norton. They add this 'technology', advertise it as an advanced system (when really it's just poor coding), and then the unintelligent end users think "Oh wow, it stopped something! It must be working!".
Avoid Norton at all costs.
Use MSE or Avast! instead if you don't want to pay.
Otherwise if you want to pay, use ESET NOD32, which is about the best you can get.

"Microsoft Security Essentials 2.1, our fifth-place finisher..."
Microsoft Security essentials 4.0 was released two days earlier. Not an entirely thorough review there.

I use MSE on all my machines here at home, it works great... much better than AVG which I used before. So I personally disagree with the review.

AVG 2013 was also released. 
When daily protection is not urgent, simply use free running-on-demand tools. Their engines are the same like the AV but only function the scan once you run. They are:
In case your computer is accessed frequently by public (friends, collegues, neighbourhood...) and connect occasionally to suspicious outside sources, have any free programme from Windows 7 consumer security software providers (one at a time). Switch tabs to see what compatible for XP, Vista and 8. Here are the lists:
