WARNING: XP Q811493 slows the OS

[Richard Rose]

I had to uninstall this XP update because it delayed
opening new windows by about 4 seconds! I experienced
this with all new Internet Explorer windows, and also
Windows Media Player.

Does anyone else have any more information about this
problem? My computer is running fine now, but Windows
Update is still harassing me to install it.

Please email me if possible.

Richard;
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.

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