Downloaded the latest security patch today now my computer works AWFUL. For
example when my screen saver comes on and I click to take it off I counted
to 100 before there was any reaction. It takes minutes not seconds to open
almost any file. Can I delete the patch? Probably not. Do I have anything I
can do? I tried system restore back to yesterday but that didn't help. I
defragged. No help. Why does MS do this. I think the cure is worse than the
disease

1. Your anti-virus application should be disabled and all other running
processes closed before going to Windows Update and when
downloading/installing from an MS page.

2. The patch may be uninstalled via Add/Remove Programs (Internet Explorer
Q824145). I suggest you uninstall it and then go to Windows Update to
install it again, all within the environment cited in #1 above.

Yes - I noticed several new problems - my main concern is
the amount of text jump when using the scrollbar. Way too
much.

I'd go back also and then stop further updates.

Click right under the indicator on the scrollbar and it will just go one
page.
