First time I've seen a hitch in Microsoft Update(MU). Here it is Thursday and the latest updates haven't downloaded. So I looked at the log and found it littered with phrases like
"Update...(blah blah blah) is "Priority" regulated and can NOT download", "Update is not allowed to download due to regulation" and "DnldMgr Regulation: {7971F918-A847-4430-9279-4A52D1EFE18D}"


I've done nothing to my system in a long time. This is the first time MU refused to handle the automatic update routine. I'm always amused at how you can mind your own business, not tinker with your system and not even wander much beyond the borders of DSLreports. Yet one day you look for something that has been working since forever and suddenly you're left to unravel the mystery. So I marched right over to the MU site. After two tries (non specific error on first attempt that page couldn't be loaded), I was able to bring up the MU web page and get my updates manually. Things that make you go hmmm....

Windows XP SP3 (Automatic Update service running)
Avast!Home 4.8 4.8.1229
