I am running Windows XP SP3 with IE 6 and NIS 2010. I want to install IE 8. One of MS knowledge base articles suggests temporarily disabling antispyware and antivirus software for the IE 8 installation.
Is that a good idea? If so, is the right way to do it to right click the NIS icon in notification area and disable antivirus auto-protect?
Should I also disable smart firewall?
Thanks for any suggestions.
