When I click on Windows or Microsoft Update I get 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

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

Why do I get this message when I have the Windows XP operating system? This
just started after many years of having no problems of using the update
feature.

A few thoughts: Maybe you have some type of malware or malware
protection blocking access. Run a few scans, disable any unique
protection software.. Do you have a router? Look at its settings.
