Ok see here is what I did to fix this problem on my machine. I hope everyone
has the same success.
1. Goto HK_C_U\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\W indows Update and
deleted the key
2. Goto HK_L_M\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\W indows Update and
deleted the key
3. Open HIJACKTHIS and deleted this: DPF:
{6414512B-B978-451D-A0D8-FCFDF33E833C} (WUWebControl Class) -
http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co...?1093475842247
4. Log off system and goto Windows Update... allow the active x control to
install and then run windows setup install file when prompted.
hope this works for all of you.
