umm... well why would u go to windows update for your drivers? go to the manufacturers site and get the drivers from them.

i have already got the drivers from manufactures site, i am wanting to install windows updates! btw the windows xp is genuine

oh, sry then. have u gone thru the genuine check? have u tried that little update icon in the taskbar?

Looks more like a virus to me, some viruses love to come in trough windows update service.
