in common with many others, of course. I had the RPC worm. I downloaded and installed the patch.

However, I wondered if anyone else had a similar problem to me, in that, since I've done so my system has become very sluggish around twenty minutes after I connect to the net. I normally have IE open at the same time as my Outlook - I run Windows XP Professional.
Any advice and I'd be grateful, otherwise I constantly have to system restarts.

I do not proclaim to know much about my computer I have to say, so if you can, please keep it simple.
