This latest update is worthy. Dramatically cut down the hard drive grinding on my XP machine.
Previously, I was seeing multiple SVCHOST processes running simultaneously.
Also, this update comes with a new “Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool” which seems worthwhile.
Use your command line and type “MRT.exe” to run it after you’ve performed the latest XP update.
Indeed. I may even take a chance on one machine and let it update after all these years to see if it helps much. Not really thinking that it will speed things up much, but it might and it is better than allowing one of the newer MS OS bloated spambait to be installed which is guaranteed to be more sluggish.
