I was reading through some of the older messages about Software distribution
services 2.0 in this forum other forums around the net and see that others
have had troubles with this file as well but didn't see if anyone figured it
out. I'm guessing that Software distribution services 2.0 was part of an MS
update? I don't use auto updates and only install critical updates from MS so
it must've been in the critical update list but I don't recall seeing it.
Now for some reason I'm having issues browsing certain websites (as others
I've read about did) and my ISP speed while browsing has dropped about half
if not more depending on the site since SDS 2.0 was installed. I've ran
speed tests at DSLreports.com and my speeds seem a lot slower than the norm
when testing throughput up and down stream. But it really slows down while
browsing the web with IE. I Tried to use system restore to go back before
it's install but it fails. (System restore is actually where I found out that
this SDS 2.0 had been installed.)

I also checked with my ISP to see if they have been having any issues over
the last four or five days but nothing has been reported.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. -kwik
