Symantec Endpoint Protection has the ability to prevent disabling the Symantec AntiVirus service without a password, but this feature does not cover using the "net stop" command to disable it.  The service will automatically restart after 5 minutes, but this leaves a 5 minute window to execute threatening code.  I do not want to recommend modifying permissions.

This is a request from long

This is a request from long time...not sure if it would be done...you can use  a GPO to stop users  from disabling the  service
