Hi,
Another thing you can have a look at and that is to go via
'Start/Find/Files or Folders' and enter Hosts and search your hard drive.
Should you find one, open it up and look for an item a248.e.akamai.net If
you find it, delete it. This can also be achieved via Spyblocker, should you
have it, by going through 'Spyblocker/Setup/Find/a248.e.akamai.net/Unblock
checked/Save/OK' Windows Update has taken over the akamai address but as it
is a banned URL in many Host files and Spyblocker, Windows Update has
unfortunately become blocked for many users.
