Windows Update Support sent me the following information
which helped me "FINALLY" get rid of the blaster worm and
run the update: Solution #1 worked for me!!

My name is Lisa from the Windows Update Team. Thank you
for sending feedback regarding the Windows Update error
message.



There are several potential causes for this error. First
of all, make sure you are running the current version of
Internet Explorer. At this time, the current version is
IE 6 SP1. You can install IE 6 SP1 from this link:



http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/ie6
sp1/default.asp



Secondly, if you are using a proxy server ask your
network administrator to make sure that the proxy server
is set to allow anonymous connections to the Internet.



Some more specific steps you can try to resolve this
issue:



Solution 1

-------------

Register the following files with these steps:



1. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 SOFTPUB.DLL"
(w/o the quotes). You should see a popup message that
this process succeeded.

2. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 INITPKI.DLL"
(w/o the quotes). You should see a popup message that
this process succeeded.

3. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 MSSIP32.DLL"
(w/o the quotes). You should see a popup message that
this process succeeded.

4. Click on Start, Run and type "REGSVR32 WINTRUST.DLL"
(w/o the quotes). You should see a popup message that
this process succeeded.

5. Now try the Windows Update site and see if you get
the same error.



or



Solution 2

-------------

Open Internet Explorer

Click "Tools" and then click "Internet Options".

Click "Advanced," and then check "Use HTTP 1.1 through
Proxy Connections" check box.

Click the OK button.



Or



Solution 3

-------------

If there is a HOSTS (or HOSTS.SAM) file on your system
that has an entry for the Windows Update site, then
comment out or delete the entry. The IP addresses of the
site change constantly so you don't want to have any
static IP entries.





Thanks,



Lisa
