    Interaction Issue with FileVault 2 on Mac OS X 10.7.2

    This article describes an interaction issue between Apple’s FileVault 2 technology and Symantec PGP Desktop as of the Mac OS X 10.7.2 update. Prior versions of FileVault 2 in Mac OS X 10.7.1 and 10.7.0 do not exhibit this behavior.
     
    This article provides steps to avoid this behavior, and remediation steps to fix a machine which has encountered the problem.

    I'm having the exact issue and read through the article you mentioned.  However, it did not specifically stated "when" to perform the Avoidance steps from "Terminal".  I have reformatted my Mac and now I need to know when do I perform those steps, is it:

    1) BEFORE I installed FileVault, AFTER I installed PGP?

    2) AFTER I installed FileVault, BEFORE I installed PGP?

    3) AFTER I installed FileVault, AFTER I installed PGP, BEFORE I do the reboot?

    4) It doesn't matter, but it will have to be BEFORE I do the reboot?

    5) Else?
