MS errors

Anyone else getting these error messages from Microsoft download center?

ERROR

The following error was encountered:

Unable to forward this request at this time.
This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:

Are you sure you have a legal copy of XP?

:D

[piaqt]

You can run, but you can't hide. Yes, it's legal. Update works. I'm just getting these errors intermittently when trying to download stuff from download.microsoft.com.

Btw, what exactly does that error message mean?

[egghead]

my guess is spyware tunneling your connection

but that is an un qualified guess

you should check with the latest spyware programs to make sure your not tunnelled

:runs as well:

Tunneling? I've got MS antispy installed, and it found zippo yesterday. I'm running an ad-aware scan now. What should I look for?

update:
This is what ad-aware found
WHENU.DESKTOPTOOLBAR
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
obj[9]=File : C:\WINDOWS\Restart.EXE

What the ?<* is it? And would that be the cause of the grief?

Further edit:
Eighty-Seven Percent of WhenU
Users Are Unaware They Are Using It (http://www.pcpitstop.com/spycheck/whenu.asp) Charming. I STILL wanna know how this trash got on my system.http://www.emotipad.com/emoticons/Argh.gif

He morphed into his orthodontically-challenged girlfriend and went for plastic surgery. Or a paper bag over his head.
