  I can no longer download my Windoze updates. I've tried to download them for the past week and only get a series of  "Active-X unsafe" pop-ups (rather ironic that such an error should come from Micro$oft's own Website). Basically I didn't have "permission" either. I downloaded the tiny installer program -- still   didn't work. I deleted the cache and the history in IE (and security is set at "medium" already) as suggested -- still didn't work. I followed the instructions fully according to the "kb" link (unregistered update file, deleted various .dll files pertaining to the update engine etc) -- still didn't work. I uninstalled Norton Anti-Virus and disabled my firewall as instructed -- still didn't work.

  Any ideas out there?
