RE: I eventually get this error 0x8DDD0004 on the MS update page

 

Hi, just found this post and found it very interesting as i experienced the

same problem. Then the admin account appeared to lose priviledges. Shortly

afterwards Windows XP crashed completely - wouldn't boot - so I reinstalled

the OS.

I strongly suspect an infection, despite a clean bill of health from Norton

360. I wonder how your computer is?

The people at Update Help where extremely useful!
