mcafee enterprise antivirus performance

At work we have Mcafee enterprise antivirus software on Windows 7 and once a week in the middle of the day it does a scan that takes an hour or two during which time the PC is very slow and unresponsive. Despite repeated complaints our IT department are seemingly unable to do anything about it. Is this typical of enterprise antivirus software and does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution?
 
Yep it has been that way for about 10 yrs. Our IT has caved in and now full scan happens over the weekend, and incremental scan on the weeknights.

The older versions had heavy IO loads causing mechanical hard drives to go to crawl. New one is optimized to use all CPU cores, so now it causes PC to slow down even if you have SSD.
 
Oh, I would pay to only have to deal with it once a day at work. Between McAfee and the other various security programs, I lose at least a couple hours every single day due to scans running. That's with an i5, 8Gb RAM, and an SSD.

All I can say, is I haven't had any issues with my Sophos AV at the house.
