| | Slow Internet Speeds after Windows Update KB905866 I have been using Windows Ultimate since January and normal Internet speed averages 6mb download. In July I found that the speed had dramatically reduced to around 300kb. I contacted my ISP - who found nothing wrong with my telephone line. I then saw that immediately prior to the speed dropping there had been a Windows Update.I done a System Restore prior to the update and my speed returned to 6mb. On 14th Sept I noticed that my speed had once again dropped to around 300kb and I again suspected that WU might be the cause. I did a System Restore and again the speed increased to 6mb I the returned to WU and installed each update seperately and found that when I installed the Update for Windows Mail Junk E-Mail Filter KB905866 the speed dropped. I have `hidden` this update but am at a loss as to why this should happen. I do not run any `Anti Spyware` and have Avast AntiVirus installed along with Windows Firewall Any help would be appreciated |
