The text below is the exact message that I get when I try to run Windows
Update. I followed the instructions, even disabled Nortons Internet Security
2004 with NAV.
I need help. Here is the warning:

Windows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the
most out of your computer.

Windows Update uses ActiveX Controls and active scripting to display content
correctly and to determine which updates apply to your computer.
Tell me about active scripting and ActiveX controls

To view and download updates for your computer, Windows Update should be
listed as a Trusted Site in Internet Explorer.

To add Windows Update to the trusted sites zone:

On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options.
Click the Security tab.
Click the Trusted Sites icon, and then click Sites...
Uncheck the "require server verification" checkbox.
Make sure the following URLs are listed in the Web Sites list box:
http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://*.windowsupdate.com
Note: If you need to add a URL to the Web Sites list and the Add button is
disabled, contact your system administrator.

have you added the websites to your trusted list? Do that.
