Beware of 811493 !!!

MS Security Patch MS 811493 released around mid-April can cause programs to open Veeeery Sloooowly ...

On my Dell P-4 2.4 GHz, double clicking a desk icon would get the icon selected, but then followed by a very pregnant pause of 10+ seconds before the program actually opens.

Until I realized what was happening, I would re-double click the icon, only to find several instances of the application eventually openning all over my desktop.

Dump 811493, and the problem goes away.

 

Yep! with you all the way on this one. I removed it and all is fine. EXCEPT! My Recycle Bin, Windows Explorer and My Computer windows have since developed mines of there own.
I can set them to my preference and come back later and they have changed, Not a big deal I guess but I don't like the full screen.

Maybe you or someone else can give me some ideas how to fix this.

Thanks much.

mopar.

 

how do i remove it?? thanks

 

thanks pete, i did it and puter seems to be working better. did not realize how slow it had gotten. also it had developed a mind of its on. i would click on one of my favorites and it might just go anywhere. or give me a 404 error or page not found etc. could the patch be causing that? thanks again.

 

Does anyone know what the problem with this update is?

Why I ask is that I noticed an immediate drop in speed when I installed it on one of our PC's, yet on the other it made no difference whatsoever.

 

The new released version today, May 28, solves all of the slow downs and performance problems associated with the original patch. Installed and actually saw an increase in my internet connection speeds of about 10% on downloads, uploads remain unchanged.
