The problem with disabling non-obvious processes is that, well, they are non-obvious.
I suppose if it's your own machine, and you know what you're doing, that's OK, but as soon as something breaks you will have no idea whether it's because you turned something critical off, or whether it's actually a bug.
Thanks for the advice and all, but where is this coming from? It seems kind of out of left field, as parent comment did not communicate or convey in any way that they would ever mess with someone else’s machine like that. Is it not obvious that such an act would be just plain rude (and stupid)?
I think it is more teenaged mentality trying to be helpful disabling system protection, and otherwise tweaking the heck just because they believe it is the best experience.
It is not an issue here so not too helpful as a post, but plenty of folk out there telling their grandparents to delete the temp folder every week to optimize the computer and other nonsense they heard is helpful in some forum.

Please don't do this to other people's Macs.
