I get a an error " the program cant check for updates error code 0x80248009",
when i check for updates.
I wasnt having problems in the past. I am running Vista and Norton Antivirus.

Thanks in advance,

Junior

On doing a quick Google it appears that the problem requires the renaming of
the softwaredistribution folder. Very similar to error code 0x80240029:

I suggest you take a look at this link and follow the instructions to see if
that helps:
