For some reason, whenever I try to get to Windows Update, I receive an error
message. I am able to reach other sites. I scanned computer with Ad-Aware. I
also had checked "do not search from address bar" box. The following is error
message:
(PLEASE HELP!!!)

We can't find "v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com"

You can try again by typing the URL in the address bar above.
Or, search the Web:


Go to MSN Search to see complete results for
"v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com".



Check availability or register the domain name
'v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com'.
