Ok so I know this is a common problem, but I've spent a week searching on the web to fix this and nothing is working. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, and it can't check for updates, nor can Windows Defender update. To add to that, update.microsoft.com redirects me to google, and if I try to download any other things from Microsoft, it says "failed to connect".
The part I find strange is that it is only Microsoft that seems to be blocked. I was able to install other virus software, such as Avast, and Ad-Aware, and my Norton 360 was able to update. Now, I scanned thoroughly with all these programs, and I even scanned with Microsoft OneCare, which was able to run surprisingly, and OneCare found 2 Trojans, but my 3 other virus programs found absolutely nothing on my system.
If anyone can help with this problem it would be greatly appreciated. I just want to find out why I can't update my Windows stuff.
Thanks for the help
