Windows XP Updates

Whenever I click on the windows update icon, it tries to
take me to the update page, but it forwards me to
microsquishy's, thanks but no thanks page, with the
following error.

If you have a software firewall running, turn it off temporarily whilst
you visit windows update, earlier versions of Zone Alarm pro had this
problem, but later versions do not. See if it helps

Thanks Devil. Worked like a charm, sort of! Didn't work
at first, but then I recalled I had my firewall set to
block all traffic when not in service. Once I removed
that, worked great! Thanks again!
