Nowhere did I say that people shouldn't have a properly configured
firewall. Stop reading into my posts what's not there. A properly
configured firewall is just as important as a properly configured virus
scanner.
Nowhere did I say it was safe to run without a firewall. Stop reading
into my posts what's not there.
Where did I give out uninformed advice? If you think it's uninformed to
tell people that it's ok to install programs, run a defrag or install
windows updates without disabling their antivirus scanner then you best
educate yourself a little more.
Tell me exactly what harm could your A/V scanner cause if it's running
when installing a program, running a defrag or installing updates? Think
hard about this one, because taking an extra few seconds or even minutes
does not make it harmful and so far the only thing you said it does is
take longer.
