Latest Windows Update and NOD32 Problem

To All:

Apparently, the latest Windows Update screwed up my NOD32 settings. I
noticed a significant slow-down (5+ minutes to open Firefox or Windows
Explorer). Looking at my Task Manager showed a lot is CPU going to
ekrn.exe. A quick Google pointed to "Run time" packers needing to be
disabled.

I had definitely disabled Runtime packers a while ago.

Apparently after installing latest Windows Update Runtime packers where
enabled.

I disabled them again and now my PC is running just fine.

As anyone else recently encountered this problem?

Thanks,

Steve
