Hi,
The error code indicates it can't reach the site. While this most often
happens due to firewall or proxy server issues, I suspect your problems are
due more to a problem with malware since it's not just Windows Update that
is giving you fits. A full scan in safe mode with updated antimalware
(antivirus and antispyware) software may help.
