While in the Micrsoft Update Home Page I try to find the latest updates but
when the system tries to run a scan to find the latest updates I just get the
following message: "The website has encountered a problem and cannot display
the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you
solve the problem." I am trying to read thru previous problems but have
found nothing in regards to this problem.

Frustrating as I have problems with Windows dowloads on 2 of my personal
computers. One downloads and won't install and now this one doesn't even get
into the download web page.

How can you say you have the same problem when you're getting a different
error?

I have a similar problem...... Since June 3, 2008 my automatic updates are
not working... They have all Failed...... Explorer is now crashing on a
regular basis, and i cannot hardly use it.... I did iexplore.exe -extoff, and
it still crashed.... I know, 2 separate problems, but I wondered if I needed
updates, and now they don't work. Help...

Judging from similar posts here in the past month or so, the behavior may be
due to a Vundo-ZLOB-SDBot infection, all of which is protected by a rootkit.

Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software

Run a thorough check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

I kind of have a similar problem.
When I click to download the available updates I get that "Some of the
updates could not be installed". The updates are being downloaded but not
installed. I haven't been able to update my computer since the past 5
months!! I even can't update my Windows Defender.
Please help....
