Win2003 SP1, IE7.

I added the list of websites below.
However, I attempt to go to the Windows Update Website and I keep getting
annoying message in IE7 saying that I should add the sites below. What's
wrong?

What it is strange is that under "Security", allowed websites settings I
added the complete
http://.update.microsoft.com and all other two URL IE7 reports I should have
added.

Try temporarily lessening IE's security. Close all IE windows. Open
Add/Remove Programs and go to Windows Components. Uncheck "[ ]
Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration." Re-open IE, and
dump your remporary Internet files. Go to Windows Updates and pull
down the latest patches. Once done, go back to Add/Remove Programs and
check "[x] Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration."

Hope that helps,
