Update stopped working error 80070246


Hi

I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 and Windows update had a load of updates
on the 13th Feb, so i ran them and didn't think anymore about it.
However, i've just ran update again and each time it comes back with
this:

Windows could not search for new updates
Error(s) found: Code 80070246

Then it states the last updates were installed 13/02/2008 at 09:50, but
when i check View Update History, i see there was an update installed
for Windows Defender - KB915597 (definition 1.27.6677.0) - on
16/02/2008.

Has this lest update messed something up or is it related to the mass
updates from 13/02/2008?

Hi

I ended up restoring to a couple of days earlier as nothing would work
for me, but once restored it's been fine.
