As an MSI, there are some common switches you can use so the end user does not have to hit next/next/finish. Is there some reason you want the user to initiate the install? Is it because you want them to control when the reboot occurs? We don't deploy Symantec (we're McAfee), but I have two suggestions.
#1: On your program line, try this: NameOfTheMSI.MSI REBOOT=ReallySuppress /l*v c:\symantecav10.1.log /qb-!
Instead of /qb-!; you may also want to try /qn to be completely silent. I'd also double-check that you've set the program to be "whether or not a user is logged in", so you can get the app installed anytime, and with system credentials.
#2: On your advertisement, add a mandatory start time, and check that box to allow user to start independently (so it shows up in Run Advertised as well as running automatically).
In my opinion, this will get you to where I think you might want to be -- AntiVirus installs, the reboot is not forced, if the user is logged in they see something happen. At their next natural reboot, the product will be really installed. And if it fails to install on a couple machines, you'll have the log file in the root of C: to better read why it failed.
Standard disclaimers... test it youself on a couple test machines, not "all systems" collection, don't trust me on your production systems, blah blah.
