IE7 - Redirection..?

When I try to go to windows update site..
http://update.microsoft.com
I get re-directed immediately to www.msn.com
1) Should it do this..?

Can't even get there from
Control panel... Automatic Updates.. <Windows Update Web Site..> link

Ive recently had a problem with spyware even though had
Norton Protection Center Running (Don't trust it now..!)
2) Has it moved of have I still got a problem..?

Any Assit/Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjunction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
