When this last batch of Viruses hit the net, I read that microsoft shut it's Windows Update site down. Is it still down? I've loaded run the latest files from the Microsoft.com website, but if I try going to Windows Update, I get the old "that site don't exist" message. (paraphrasing). Everything else works great. Any Ideas? thanks

Yes, my copy is legal.

Just used it.

Maybe you having a DNS problem

Microsoft disabled the name www.windowsupdate.com for a while, but it works again on my system. But, as they pointed out when they disabled windowsupdate.com temporarily, the proper URL is windowsupdate.microsoft.com -- so try that...

just open IE, go in the tools menu, chose windows update )

Try - http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Thanks for the info guys. I've tried all that..no go. But, after a few more trys, it's started redirecting me to the www.microsoft.com home page every time. I've also tried pinging those addresses...also, no luck.

Thanks again

Legit copy?

Maybe check for entries in your hosts file
