Re: Can't Load Win/MS Update Pages

The file associations have been messed up due to the malware[s].
You won't be able to run anything that ends in .exe and, most likely, ..com nor .bat.

For *no-charge* assistance in getting the system back in order strongly suggest you contact MS:

Engel,

I am unable to get to either web site from my daughter's computer. As with the MS/Win Update attempts, I get an indication that 207.0.0.1 is attempting to load followed by an IE page failed to load message. I downloaded the .exe files from another computer to CD, but when I try to install on my daughter's computer, I get "an error has occured" message with a send error report option. I'm not sure how to proceed next.

Thanks

I just cleaned out several virus & keyloggers from my daughter's computer and can no longer access the Microsoft Update or Windows Update pages. She runs WinXP. One of the viruses was blocking anti-virus software and disabling the firewall on her computer, and may have also been redirecting access to Win/MS Update by pointing to another site. Is there a registry setting I can set to regain access to the Win/MS Update sites? Other web sites load normally.

Thanks,
