Thanks Clint I will change how I have it presently set. ( to ask.)
I have been explaining my problem the last couple of days and figured
you were real busy as I kinda expected a reply from you. I mean that in
a good way.
When I go to Start>contol panel>MS update I get a screen that indicates
I do not have a MS operating system. I also use FP2003 and when I select
the help files and then request or select something that requres IE and
us Java script it comes up with a script error.
If I turn my FW off it is fine. I can see nothing in the Traffic logs in
Sygate in or out that would cause this. So I do not know what to change.
I have updated all software involved to no avail. I am now waiting for
something from Sygate.

It's not a good idea to set that to "allow", it should be set
to "ASK", since that process in contacted by M$ and a host of
others when they have no business doing so. That's how a lot
of malicious or at least "questionable" sniffs and probes take
place.
I can't see who posted this originally, but whomever you are,
don't ever set anything in Sygate (or any FW for that matter)
to "Allow" UNLESS you KNOW it is totally benign. For example,
it's ok of course to allow OE, IE, and other apps that
regularly have to access the net. When in doubt, set it to
"Ask" then you can train it properly as time goes by.
If this is the update site you're speaking of, what Karl
mentioned "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services
(svchost. exe)" is one that you have to set to "Ask" then when
you go to the site allow it (thanks to the new Windows update
site!). But don't ever tell Sygate to always remember the
setting because when some malicious places tries to access your
PC via that service or access that service, it will be able to
do so unimpeded.

Thru the help from others it turned out to be my Sygate
Personal Firewall that was keeping my from solving these
problems. I just need to find what I have to change in Sygate
to fix the condition.

What worked for me was to right click on the Sygate Personal
Firewall icon in the tray, left click Applications. For
Generic
Host Process, change Access to Allow.
