Here is the link which you were talking about. The link provides you a bit information on issue with softpub.dll. But that is actually related to Active X component and I am not able to understand the link between both. Basically when this file is affected you get a error related to digital signature of updates or program. And that is the reason a number of server denies access to it. Maximum time the update fix the issue. You just need to run Windows Update to find the right fix. There is a small fix available in this link. You can download that and run the fix.
You cannot install some updates or programs
