Spyware, malware or the security software is standing in the way. Since details are slim in your post all I can offer is the usual plus the next bad thing. Registry cleaner damage.

This is all volunteer so it's up to you to follow the words in red.
Abouth the security software. Some like Norton, Zone Alarm still work when disabled. That's why when this happens and the other reasons (such as HP AMD machines) are not an issue I look at uninstalling those things, installing the update and then reinstall what I want.
Combination protections like Spybot and this or that are also known to create issues. Basically "anything that didn't come from Microsoft."
