For #1:
Wireless probably won't be able to contend with metal walls. Plus for online banking you probably don't really want wireless, especially if you do not secure it with WPA. I would suggest investing in some CAT5 and prehaps running it across the ceiling [if your office area does have one that isn't too high up]. One alternative would be to run CAT5 to each room where you need networking and have a wireless access point in each, however, I would still suggest hard wiring computers which are used for online banking.
For #2: I would not suggest running Norton - it is by no means the best antivirus program. I suggest that you purchase NOD32. It is pretty much the best antivirus protection on the market and it doesn't cost too much either. As far as I remember, you get free updates for life once purchased.
