Security bulletin MS03-013

[Brian]

My computer automatically downloaded a security patch
(MS03-013). Since then my processing speed has been
slowed a great deal. One article said home (non-
networking) users could delete it (which I'm not sure how
to do). The same article says Microsoft advises
implementing the patch and contacting the help desk if
problems occur (the security help desk?).
Anyone else experienced this problem (the slowdown) and
if so what did you do about it?

Brian;
Some computers have issues with 811493 causing a slowdown, others do
not.
The issue seems to be a conflict with Windows Update 811493 and
antivirus applications.
Similar issues reported with McAfee, Norton, EZ Trust and possibly
others.
Uninstall 811493 from Control Panel Add/Remove Programs.
If a warning comes up about other applications, ignore it.
Uninstalling through Add/Remove Programs is far better than System
Restore to remove an application or fix.

Microsoft has stated they are working on the cause, so hopefully we
will get some definitive solution real soon.
