Using Windows XP with all latest updates…

In IE7, it am getting the following error message (on various web sites):

(red X) Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site
http://update.microsoft.com/micorsof....aspx?ln-en-us
Operation aborted.
I click the only button , OK.

It then seems to load the web site and operate fine.

Any ideas on what is going on and how to get rid of this?

Thanks
Bob

I'm going to assume that you retyped the above url because there are typos
in it. If you didn't retype it, then I suspect your computer is infected.

Be sure the computer is clean:

issue started, etc. per the "How to Post" section below.
