error code 80248009

I have a 32-based system and get this error when looking for updates. I
followed all the instructions posted in thread dated 1/22/10 regarding this
error (running multiple scans), except for the readiness tool as it won't
work on my system. I still can't get updates and can't find anything on
Microsofts website regarding this error. I searched for a readiness tool for
32 bit systems, but couldn't find anything. Any other suggestions?

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1; Win7)
when posting in a forum or newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?
