Unable to access https sites as well as windows updates on a 2000 machine

[Guest]

I have a machine that will not allow access to https sites as well as it is unable to run the windows updates. This is a WIN2000 machine. Other machines in the office acces the web pages and windows updates fine, just not this machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

with secure sites. --- Steve

This seems to be happening quite a bit lately
it usually caused by the qhosts virus
