KB891711.exe

When starting up my computer the desktop icons are small and the fonts are
miniscule, also the minimize, restore and close boxes in the righthand corner
of an open programme are shown as 0 2 T. The system always runs ok before
shut down and i am continually having to use Norton Go Back.
Help!

Windows version? What does KB891711 (MS05-002) have to do with your question, please?

If the update was just installed, it may have been too late and the
system may be infected.
If that's not the case, read the " Known issues " section.
