If ur just looking for updates (like me), this is an easy one
u need sp2 installed
Do this in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Programs -> click Manage Add-ons
Find the Windows Genuine Advantage add-on in the menu and then click Disable in the Settings box.
Now go back to the Windows Update page and everything will be back to normal.
