This is embarrassingly basic... but I need help settling a debate with friends.
I am concerned that if I leave NIS 2008 on during defrag and certain installs, conflicts may occur and corrupt files. Friends say that it's no longer necessary to turn off security software during defrag and installing software, but to turn it off while installing drivers.
What are Symantec's current BEST PRACTICES for the following situations?
* Defragging: NIS off?
* Installing software (e.g. Ad Aware, etc.): NIS on or off?
* Updating software other than an OS: NIS on or off?
* Installing drivers: NIS off?
* Updating drivers: NIS on or off?
Thanks in advance!
