Active thing cud be a prob, cos u have disabled it in the settings or the firewalls prevent downloading it.

Regdg spyware or ad I'm sure there arent any on microsoft sites.

@Ashu - Do a hijack log and post it here.

Why am I feeling like you would make a very good Linux fan ?

Well anyone know if you have illlegal copies of windows you cant download updates directly from site.
Its happened to me once.

What error do you get when you put www.microsoft.com in the browser?
Not to drift & suggest alternatives but have you tried opening the same site in a different browser?
