Default XP very slow

Hi

Am running XP with SP2 & fully updated.
Have AVG (fully updated) & scanned all drives - clear
Have Windows Defender fully updated & scanned all drives - Clear
Have run Spybot & Adaware & cleaned out anything suspicious.

I use MS Office 2003 - all programs load soo slowly (Win 98 & office 2000
immediate on dual boot)

XP hangs & shows svchost (yes it is spelt correctly!) using all resources
for a long time - I think this is Windows update. If I disable updates

then
things are as normal (slow) but work.

Should Windows Update virtually stall a computer in its tracks?

Richard
