Judging from similar posts here in the past month or so, the behavior may be
due to a Vundo-ZLOB-SDBot infection, all of which is protected by a rootkit.

Run a thorough check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

I've read and followed the advice to check BITS and Update are set to
automatic and started but to no avail. I've done all that, then
rebooted, but still can't get Windows to check for updates. I have the
updater set to notify me which updates are available before downloading
but as I've tried setting that to fully automatic and then checking for
updates (didn't work) I'm guessing that's not a factor.

Where do I go from here, please?

Thanks in advance

To avoid confusion, begin a new thread about your specific problems,
accessing this newsgroup directly via
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsupdate.

State your IE version and full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1;
Vista 64-bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64-bit) in your first post. Thank you.

I did consider that but I thought as it was a continuation of the same
thread it would be best in that thread. My apologies if I've upset
anybody, I'll repost as a new thread. Thanks for the advice

"upset anybody"? No - that is taking things to the extreme.

It's not that you "upset anybody", it's just that you may have something
different than the original posting you chose to respond to (which happens
to be a year and a half + a few days older than your response) and things
have changed since then. It's sort of like walking into a doctors office,
picking up a file with someone elses name (somehow) and reading only the
symptoms and saying to the doctor, "me too". Yet your background/history,
your current health, your food intake and so on may be completely different.
