Win2K - software update incomplete (from start menu)

Unable to execute Windows Update in Windows 2000 professional. Getting the
following message. This has happened after I installed the new Microsoft
AntiSpyware beta release. Please sombody help..........//

The Windows Update software did not update successfully. Below are some
suggestions to help you proceed:
You may have clicked No when prompted to accept the Trust Certificate. To
allow the Windows Update site software to install, click Yes when presented
with the Security Warning dialog box.
Your Internet Explorer security settings may be set too high. To install the
updated software and access Windows Update, Internet Explorer security must
be set to medium or lower, and active scripting and the download and
initialization of ActiveX controls must be enabled.

I've got the same problem, but i just only download antispywaremicrosoft beta
release, i've not install it at all. Then i have the error message
0x800b0004. I 've delete the activex controls but i can't download it
anymore. May somebody help us

I found a post about this problem. The solution seems to be the certificates,
they have been deleted by antispyware.
