Slowdown after installing this week's patches

Windows Vista4
Yesterday I downloaded and installed successfuly the 8 updates from

Microsoft, including this one for IE7:

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 7 in Windows Vista (KB944533)

Installation date: â??2/â??13/â??2008 10:48 PM



Installation status: Successful

Update type: Important



Security issues have been identified that could allow an attacker to

compromise a system running Internet Explorer and gain control over it. You

can help protect your system by installing this update from Microsoft. After

you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.



Since, when I access the Internet, it is 10 times slower than before the

updates.

I am a broadband user, the problem occurs regardless if there is nothing

else processing in my computer and even when accessing basic low-graphics

sites.



I found that after starting to get too slow, if I reboot the system, the

access is a little faster, not like it was before the updates.



I remember when IE7 was released under XP, it was slower until you disable

the Phishing feature. Currently, my system shows Internet|Protected Mode On.

Is this part of the problem?
