Hi,
Most of the time this happens on a slower computer and hasn't been power on for a week or so.
You probably have a few updates to do and it's taking a long time to download. You can open windows update and see what it says.

In task you can just stop the process if you want to stop the updates for now, but after a while, it will check for update again.

If not it might be a virus. Download malwarebytes, adwclaner and roguekiller to do a cleanup.

Thanks, but not even close ! The processor is 2.4 gHz and never had problem before with the updates. And, if I start Windows Update manually, I get to the site thru IE, but then it just sits there, and I have to use task mgr or process monitor to kill the task. And, according to Comodo & MBAM, no infections !

Solved: I deleted all Browser history, urls, links, etc (Mozilla Firefox Tools Menu), then retried Windows Update, which was successful.
