SP3 Install with McAfee Real-tme Scanning?

Has anyone successfully installed SP3 with McAfee Real-time scanning service
running?

Instead of asking that question, why not disable it while installing?

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Can't stop the service!

Install in Safe Mode. McAfee is such a garbage program in any case that
trying to install a Service Pack while it is running is a recipe for
disaster.

I'd uninstall that lousy AV then install SP3, and install a free AV
afterwards.

Access denied to stopping service in normal mode, although it will stop in
safe mode if you disable in msconfig.

That appears to be the only way, although I'm not into getting into a
discussion of whether or not it's a lousy AV.

I installed SP3 successfully .I use mccafee enterprise Antivirus scanner
with real time protection version 8.5.0i. Had no issues installing the
service pack 3.
