When I try to update, I keep getting a message saying that I cannot connect
to the Internet. My connections are fine. Any thoughts?

Does AutoUpdate work on this machine? Is it a home machine, or one on a
corporate network?

If you go to Windows Update, do an express scan, and accept all offered
updates, do you get Windows Defender definitions?

Hello mbrooke,

In addition to what Bill mentioned

See whether this "old" solution does the trick:

Is your Internet Explorer or Outlook Express set to work off-line or on-line?

Please check in the File menu of Internet Exporer or Outlook Express - the
"Work off-line" option should nºt be checked.

Do you have a software or hardware firewall that controls outbound
connections?

For the benefit of the community reading this post, please rate the pºsts.

I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut.
