Windows Update 811493
Has anyone noticed a slow down after intalling Windows Update 811493 on XP???

My machine has slowed down to crawl.

There's a few articles out there talking about it, here's one -

I'm going to delete the update (unless anyone advises against it).

Yes, the same happened to me. I've removed the update and my machine is back up to speed.

I've had it installed for a while and have not noticed any slowdowns.

Yeah, it's a very strange little bug. The Technotes has been updated now on the MS website to warn people that it might cause slowness.

It has only caused slowness on one machine for me, and that's an AMD Ahtlon processor. All my Intel machines have carried on working fine, if it's got anything to do with the chip I've got no idea.

hm... I'm running it on a dual Athlon MP setup. That could be why there is no noticable slowdown in my case.

I have a Pentium 4 (2.26Ghz) so I don't think it's anything to do with the processor.

Unimpressed I too noticed a huge slowing down in my pc's performance. A friend of mine told me about the windows update 811493 causing problems. I went to control panel/add-remove programs/ and located 811493 and removed it, now my pc is back to speed again.
