Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2; 
Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit) when posting in a forum or 
newsgroup. Please do so in your next reply.

Is this a sudden, new problem?

What updates were you trying to install (cite the KB numbers)?

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your 
subscription current?  What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? 
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the 
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought 
it)?
