The fix Peter mentions does not work for VirusScan ENTERPRISE (what most companies 
use).  For VSE 8.0i, the registry key is located here: 

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\VirusScan Enterprise\CurrentVersion

then set "bSkipSplash" to a value of '1' and you're good to go!

or for the lazy, err, clever:

REGEDIT4 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Network Associates\TVD\VirusScan Enterprise\CurrentVersion]
"bSkipSplash"=dword:00000001

Cheers!
