When I select to have a custon scan done, it completes that and says I have
seven. When I go to select Software, Opional (7) on the left side it brings
up begining Microsoft update page again. When the high priority ones are up
there I can get those fine, but not the optional ones.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Opt out of Microsoft Update back to Windows Update.
Click ' Change settings' in the left frame; go back to Windows Update in
the right frame.
What happened when the system accessed Windows Update ?

Does the same thing. It just brings up the screen that asks you to scan
again. If I do the scan again it freezes IE.

Was the system prompted to reinstall the software controls for Windows
Update when it first accessed it ? If yes and the controls installed
successfully, then some 'thing' is blocking the controls from
functioning properly.
Is BitComet installed ? ( If yes, then click Tools, Manage Add-ons.
Set the 'Show: ' drop down window to " Add-ons that have been used by
Internet Explorer ". Locate the BitComet add-on, click on it to
highlight it, then put a mark next to the the Disable option)

IF BitComet is not installed, which antivirus/security suite is installed ?
Which firewall is being used ?
