Best way to upgrade smoothly to Service Pack 1?
Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 is being pushed out via Windows Update; which is the best way to upgrade to SP1 without problems because of one's antivirus software? I have got Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and Norton Internet Security 2011.
This Microsoft link recommends turning off one's antivirus software but also states that it is risky to do so. Is it okay to simply turn off the antivirus protection component (AutoProtect) but leave the firewall on? I am connected to the internet via a router and Ethernet LAN, and I'm a bit jumpy about something sneaking onto my computer while upgrading to SP1 with (part of) NIS 2011 turned off. Obviously, I won't be doing any internetting during the SP1 update ;-)
PS: Is there a way to change the thread title? It got butchered up somehow or the other...Don't ask me why...Lol!...Okay, I figured it out...had to go to advanced options...
