Elen,

I haven't read anything that suggests an antivirus software will interfere with installing SP1. It should install like most other updates from Microsoft and they don't require uninstalling antivirus software.

Either read the AV's Help file or visit the manufacturer of the AV to
learn how this is done.
Just disabling it's real time monitoring of the system is NOT sufficient.
You should *completely* disable it's Services and startup files.

Services and startup files can be temporarily disabled in the System
Configuration Utility.
