I'm a big fan of SSD. And I wouldn't be posting here if the Net-Integration forum was up.

Anyways I had to do a system restore on my computer (XP pro) after updating 10/21/05. I got the latest includes file from MajorGeeks. The symptoms were that just about every program ran slower. An AV scan took 10 minutes longer. Even a scan with Spybot instead of 3 1/2 minutes took 6 minutes. Opening every program took like 5x longer. There's something wrong with the latest update.

Hmm, I can't get enough SSD either, and just updated to see what's going on (I used the built in updater for that) and it seems to be working fine. What all did you do besides update? was the HDD fragmented? I'm not sure it was the update, as it's not fubared on my PC.

Yeah I just updated, the normal and beta definitons. PC still working fine here. I also used the built-in updater.

Glad to know Heart_Attack. That's why I posted. To see if anyone else had the same problem. No my computer was AOK & no other changes besides update of SSD. But maybe mine was fubared cause I downloaded the includes file, not the built in updater.

Edit: Well I think I found the problem & it's not SSD. Another program (CounterSpy) I've had for weeks now just started being a resource hog. I just disabled this other program from realtime protection & everything now seems fine.
So I uninstalled CounterSpy & will try Trend Micro AntiSpyware. If I don't like that back to Microsoft AntiSpyware for me.
