PC extremely slow after autoupdate of KB890830 and KB913580

[How Itz Done]

Hi all,

On May 10th, the win autoupdate updated the pc with the following :

1. Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - May 2006 (KB890830)
2. Security Update for Windows 2000 (KB913580)

The system was asking for a restart and hence, proceeded to shut down
and didn't turn it back on until a few hours later.

Now, the pc is extremely slow and literally crawling. You click on
anything and by the time it takes to select that, you can have a couple
of sips of java...

Well, for now, autoupdates are disabled (I still wonder how it was
"auto enabled" to being with... as it was always, set to, "notify").

Anyway, does anyone know about this?

Any suggestions? I cannot find the kb's to uninstall them in the
add/remove programs.

Thanks in advance,

S

Hi, S.,

After installing 11 updates on Thursday, including the two you
mention, my computer eventually on Friday afternoon totally froze up!
I have no idea what caused it except I suspected the updates and I had
to pay a local technician lots of money to unfreeze it and he couldn't
even tell me what was wrong with it. I asked him to uninstall the 11
updates but he didn't, and the computer seems ok now. BUT, I am
planning on buying a new computer - I'm so sick of throwing money at
this one for parts and labor, etc.

I would be interested to know if anyone else had the problem too.
