When windows update program tries to download updates to update my computer it hangs and won't or can't down load updates.

After, it tries to download updates and can't... I see that it lists the programs that should be downloaded and next to each program, it says download failed.

I think that there is something on my computer that prevents the download.  I first noticed when I tried to download the program called pc tools, and I couldn't.  The Technical Department has tried to help me pc tools, but they have given up... they couldn't help me.

Is there anyone here, they might be able to help?

I'd appreciate anyone's help.

One of the most common causes of problems are Anti Virus and Anti Spyware software currently running on the computer.

You can try to disable them, and then try the updates again. Keep the firewall however.
