Windows Update - IE locks up before displaying update web page

Windows Update - IE locks up before displaying update web page. This problem
began after test using Norton Internet Security. After trial period Norton
Internet Security was un installed with out errors. The Windows Update
failure began after the NIS was un installed. Have read the list and have
tried several of the recommendations with out success; such as adding to
Trusted Sites. Further recommendations is appreciated.

Check your program control in NIS - you may be blocking Windows Update within Nortons

For example, this is for V2004 but it will give you a general idea
To permit Windows Update full access
1.. Open Norton Internet Security.
2.. Double-click Privacy Control.
3.. Click Advanced.
4.. In the scroll list, select microsoft.com > windowsupdate.microsoft.com.
5.. On right pane, go to Global Settings tab.
6.. On Information About Your Browser, uncheck "Use Default Settings" and choose
"Permit".
7.. Click OK.
