My daughter called and said she had installed service pack
1 and the recommended security patches because of the
blaster worm. Now, the system takes several minutes more
to boot then usual. Where shall I suggest she start
looking and what is the likely cause?
 
It sounds like your daughter may have installed a earlier version of
MS03-013 patch. The April version of this patch had this behavior with
anti-virus software running. You can test this by turning off anti-virus
real-time montoring (while not connected to the Internet as a precaution)
and checking performance. Another version of the patch was released in
May. The following Microsoft Knowledge Base article documents the patch
and gives you a link for downloading the updated version.
