Help!: Windows Update ID's my pc as a Mac!

[Menta]

Every time I try to access Windows Update I'm met with the following
message:

"Thank you for your interest in obtaining updates from our site.

This website is designed to work with Microsoft Windows operating
systems only.

To find updates for Microsoft products that are designed for Macintosh
operating systems, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/mac/."

Unfortunately, my computer is a Compaq Presario pc running MS
Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2 w/AMD Sempron
3500+ 994MHz 1.43 GB RAM, NOT a Macintosh!

Has anyone here ever heard of such a thing?

I'm scanning my entire system right now with an antivirus program.

I tried getting help from Micro$oft but THEY WANTED ME TO PAY for
any such help (which ironically makes me wish my pc was a Mac, and now
my next computer may very well be a Mac!), so I'm posting here in the
hope that maybe folks here can advise me.

Thanks!
