From the linked report :

Based upon the available information, the cause for the reported event was due to the customer not following instructions concerning the installation of anti-virus software; therefore, there is no indication that the reported event was related to product malfunction or defect

I beg to differ. I'd consider a momentary loss of file I/O due to lock contention causing a machine to require a reboot a shocking defect in - say - a word processor (which, notably, do not have this problem). That this risk is apparently known and the vendor's sole mitigation is to document a 'Don't do that then' is absolutely 100% an indication of a product defect, even in the absence of an actual occurrence.
