I've had the same problem after installing the 811493
security patch as well. I removed it with system restore
and all went back to normal. I have a post at security-
general security discussion. I see that there are other
people with the same problems after installing this
patch. Is there an updated patch coming, or a work around
for this security flaw that won't cause these performance
slow downs? I'm using Windows XP Home, 1.6 ghz pent 4,
512 DDR, with 60gb & 120gb harddrives, fully updated(with
the exception of this one), no viruses or spyware.
