sounds as you have one of the new virus's going around, blocking protection. go here and download for free  http://spywareterminator.com  this is the best of the freebies out there.it will get rid of the virus and then stop from getting again. then after that see if cant turn on updates.AVG is a mediocre antivirus and this one is much better.

If you use an illegal version, you won't have access to automatic Windows updates.  You can, however, download these updates manually from Microsoft's website.  Contrary to what was said above, they will not "close down" your computer.

If you go to windows update it will block the download, as they've protected themselves against invalid product keys, however if you enable automatic downloads, it will allow you to install SP2 and all security downloads as they become available.\n\nThere is also a handy piece of software called AutoPatcher that includes all published updates for Win XP, and lets you install the relevant ones.  The website for it is hard to navigate, but its all there.

Only Windows SP2 has Security Center. If you don't have it, but you have a genuine Windows (legally bought), just turn on the automatic updates and your old Windows will become SP2 (with Security Center).

Go to the 'Security Center' control panel and switch the offending items (firewall, virus protection and automatic updates) to "I'll monitor it myself" or "Not monitored".\n\nMy recommendation for Automatic Updates, by the way, is either of the two middle options, "Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them", or "Notify me but don't automatically download or install them".  That way, I get a notification, but Microsoft isn't doing anything to my machine without me knowing about it.

Start Menu/Control Panel/Add and Remove Programs would be where I would start.  Maybe get a virus scanner McAfee works quite well.  and get the updates.

You cant, the only thing you can do is uninstall it. I would go to add/remove programs and remove the last update that put this stupid check into your computer. I have several computers and I used a CD that I PAID for and used it on all my computers when the recovery discs didnt work, and now I get that too. \n\nWindows update put that new security check in. I would just remove it or I would reformat and install windows all over again, and I would omit that security update next time.\n\nMicrosoft asks you if you want to install the updates and they usually show you what the update is during their update process. I would just omit it. I have omitted it in my other computers. The one that had that warning all the time, I just removed the update.\n\nTry this link:\nhttp://www.sinhack.net/GenuineAdvantage/\n\nEdit: I saw your link but I wouldnt delete .dll files cuz it could mess up your computer. Playing with registry keys is kinda risky too. If it works for you, let me know, but I wouldnt recommend it. I would just remove it using add/remove to be safe.

Just download a free trial of a popular anti-virus program. Here are some:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/viruses/wsc/en-us/default.mspx\n\nNot updating puts you at greater and greater risk with each passing day.

You need to agree to them checking your windows is a genuine version before you can load updates.  If it is genuine you have nothing to fear ... if you don't agree then you wont get the updates which is a risk.

With out looking at your system directly, I suggest doing a search for www.windowsupdate.com Try to download and install any updates to IE.  You can also try to empty out your cache.  To do this with IE open go to Tools, Internet Options On the general tab under temp internet files go to settings.  Click view files, delete everything that you can see.  Then go to Security under internet options and set the security to default and apply.  Close IE and reopen (Post how it works out.)
