1290910 2012-07-26 20:49:00 I just found the problem.
I turned my Firewall (Defender) off and the updates went though perfectly and quite quickly (dur)

You'd think they would have mentioned that in their Error message information.

I now have 3 options to try hopefully one of them will work.

As regards Firewalls and threats I think threats and virus are "over-rated"


Yes , theres an element of truth in this.
Many malware infections are caused by user stupidity, thats why I see some infections initially get past EVERY AV program.
I you click OK on popups, open joke/spam emails, go to dodgy sites etc etc then chances are youll get infected.

I had one customer who insisted on opening every spam email he got :badpc: :badpc:
