I have had the same problem when updates KB975561, 973917, 979895,
905866, 978382, 890830 and 978380 were automatically installed. I use
Vista home Premium edition and had to reboot about 15 times before it
all went relatively normal. Rebooting in safe mode, non safe mode,
with disc scan or not just resulted in the same effect every time,
slow slow and dead slow. :( Seems to be ok at the moment, except that
I cannot open too many windows at once or it's the same problem all
over again.

Mrs Frog,

You have to use a bit of common sense. Microsoft updates are never designed
to make your computer secure because if they were, then clearly in 10 years
during which we have had endless amounts of updates, critical updates,
upgrades, and service packs would have made our system completely full
proof. Instead, the systems are slower, crashing all the time and prone to
attacks by hackers and virus writers.

There is no need for any updates if you have installed Windows XP SP3 and
your firewall is configured so as not to allow any exceptions. Also, try
not using Internet Explorer for your casual web browsing like Google have
done and French and German governments have advised its citizens. This is
the only way to make your system secure.

Stop all updates from Windows Security Center.

I should have emphasized that my advice applies to Windows XP SP3 only
because I skipped Vista generation and now I am on Win7 (for which I have no
comments thus far) because it was "forced" upon me by my University.

"It" is attending Troll University for the clinically moronic.
"It" keeps changing it's user name but I keep up and continue to kill
file "It".
If you hadn't replied to "It", I would never have seen it's post, Peter.
Thanks for the laugh !
