Hi gardenerstouch,
If you are running Spybot and Zone Alarm, turn both off, but temporarily
turn on your Windows firewall. Then try going to the Windows Update site.
I had a similar problem at the end of June and by temporarily turning off ZA
and Spybot -- including its Tea Timer feature -- I was successful in
installing the latest software that the Windows Update site requires.
