1. You must have a cross-over cable and network cards (sounds like you have those). The cross-over cable reverses the transmission/receive signals so the second computer can communicate with the first. You cannot do this with a regular ethernet cable. Another way is just get a cheap network hub anywhere that sells computer stuff, even wal-mart or office max. The hub may be called a switch. You should be able to get a brand new one for around $20 at a discount store, or up to $50 for a very good one; or else buy a cross-over cable.
2. To get Norton anti-virus to stop starting with windows, click on start, then run, and type in "msconfig". Go to the tab that has the startup programs, and uncheck the boxes that apply to Norton. If this is an xp operating system, you must be logged in as an administrator.

As far as networking 2 PCs with a single cable, that would have to be a crossover cable, i.e. the sending and receiving wires are reversed at the ends.
If you just google for crossover cable, there are pictures that show you how the wires must look and plenty of links to purchase one.
As far as Norton AV, if you do not want to disable or uninstall it for good, one way would be to go to Start -> Run, then type msconfig and go to the startup tab, find the entries for Norton and disable them from starting automatically.

You have to use a "crossover" cable. Most ethernet cables are called "patch" cables. The wires on one end exaclty match the wires on the other and they are designed to plug into a hub, switch, router, etc. Crossover cables "cross" the wires from end to end, allowing you to connect directly, without anything in between. Without the proper tools, etc. I doubt you could build a crossover cable and crimp it successfully yourself. The easiest solution is to go to your local computer shop and ask for a "crossover" cable.
