Right now i am on : Microsoft Windows XP Professional (Build Service Pack
22600), when i go to the update page it says Thank you for your interest in
obtaining updates from our site.

I was experiencing this problem for a few days as far as I could be aware,
and none of the solutions hacking the user agent entry in the registry worked
for me. Finally I got a hint from a search in Google that it could be related
to a Network Threat Protection Setting in Symantec Endpoint Protection
software. Absolutely right, the setting is “Enable stealth mode Web browsingâ€
under “Stealth Settingsâ€.

Once you uncheck this setting, you don’t even need to restart the pc to get
to Windows Updates web page. So If you have any Symantec or Norton antivirus
software, or any other brand with this setting, try it before any more
advanced solution like getting in the registry or installing / uninstalling
the browser or the operating system.
