FYI,
When wuauclt.exe error window appears, the wuauclt.exe pricess is running in
the task manager. If I disable automatic updates from local services, the
error continues to pop up and the wuauclt.exe still shows up in the processes
running window. If I disable automatic updates, shouldn't that keep the
wuauclt.exe process from starting?

Yes, unless N360's "system protections" are re-enabling Automatic Updates
service.

What version of N360 is installed (e.g., N360 2008)? How long as it been
installed? Did you upgrade from an earlier Norton application (e.g., NIS
2007; NAV 2006)?

Has the machine ever been connected to the internet recently without an
anti-virus application installed?

N360 includes a firewall: Is the Windows Firewall also enabled?

You first posted to this thread on 09 September: Was this a sudden, new
problem? Has Automatic Updates ever worked on this machine? By any chance
had you recently had occasion to do a Repair Install or a Clean Install of
WinXP?

From: Rick on
Renaming the Software Distribution folder did the trick. I was able connect
to the MS updates and the error message has not reappeared. I downloaded
updates throughout the night, and now have SP3, along with other updates.
I always have automatic updates for AV and windows enabled. My latest AV
renewal was in June without any incidents. I had the wuauclt.exe error for a
couple of days before the first post and it kept getting worse as time went
on. I have never had a problem with MS updates in the past. I did not update
anything, or do any repair install or clean install, nor add any new
software. I have no idea how this could have started. I mainly use this
computer for business accounting information and email.

Anyway, I appreciate all of the help you have provided and am very thankfull
for your service.

Rick
