Windows 7: Blank page on Microsoft Update (XP)

I have just restored after a breakdown. Now everytime i enter Microsoft Update either from buttom in Windows or via the web-page, it comes up with a blank page.
I get no error message.



If i go from the update buttom in Windows, Explorer start Microsoft Windows Update but with a total blank page.

If i go to update via Microsofts web-page it start Microsoft Windows Update. It start to check but nothing more happen and i get a blank page again.

I have avast 4,0 Home antivirus and it can't find any problems.

What is wrong ?????

Welcome to SF!

How did you restore?

You may consider a Repair Install.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Jonathan
I tryed first the repairbut had to reinstall. Had to do it twise becurse my Paragon backup gave me the same problem i had before.
I have not yet retryed to restore from Paragon second time.

What happened when you tried the Repair Install? The problem came back even after you did a clean install?

Hi again and thank so much for your time.
It is a few month ago i recoverd it. As far as i know the PC is clean now. I have installed all nessesary drivers and other software and SP3 as well without any problems. What about my settings in Explorer? Couldthat be the problem?

If I might suggest, you may have been compromised. Try virus scanning your pc from a cloud based service, or, try disabling Avast ( don't uninstall it, just stop the relevant services ), and then install Microsof security essentials and do a full scan. One of the ways that some malware works, is by disabling installed anti-malware scanners, so the they can't be reported upon. Using a different product, ( and if the different product doesn't install or run correctly, be very suspicious), may get around this.

I would not recommend installing Microsoft Security Essentials while Avast is still installed. Either uninstall Avast, or better yet, download Malwarebytes free.

Are'nt Repair and install only for WIN 7? I have XP and can't find it.

You're correct. Best to uninstall if you don't know how to stop all the relevant processes. I suggested MSE, as it checks MS update itself.

Sorry, I assumed you were using 7. My bad. Yeah, the Repair Install is no longer applicable.
