Can't access window updates

[Alan]

I have been trying to pick updates to install without
success. I can access the Windows Update site with no
problems but when I try to view my updates (after the scan
has completed) I get "this is page is unavailable". I'm
sure its no coincidence but I can't access my yahoo mail
anymore (the rest of the site is ok)and I have problems on
some sites where IE just seems to stop. Can anyone help
please?

Windows Update Fails:
Disable your anti-virus when obtaining the updates.
Make sure that your firewall is allowing the connection to Windows Update .
This would be on ports 80 and 443.
