I woke up yesterday morning and was unable to access either my Hotmail or Yahoo Mail accounts. I'm able to get to the login page for both, but when I enter my login/pass I get the "Page Cannot Be Displayed" message. Otherwise, I seem to be able to access all other sites.

I checked system restore and noticed that a "Software Distribution Service 2.0" had been installed at 3:00 am the previous night. I did a SR to before its installation and everything seemed to work fine. I was able to login to Hotmail and Yahoo Mail perfectly.

However, it is happening every night at 3:00 am. The same update is being installed and the same problem occurs the next morning. I'd like to find a fix for this that doesn't involve doing a SR every morning.

The easiest way i can think of is to turn off updates.

Heya Tony, i recently have accquired this problem and I am doing everythin possible to get rid of it. If you have ne luck please let me know and i will do vice versa.

Cheers,
Josh

I, too, have had SDS 2.0 installed, but I have a XP SP1 OS, and can't restore past the SDS 2. Can I just delete it, or at least the folder it's in? It sure isn't on the "add/remove programs" list. Any clues?
I would rather not do a system recovery, if at all possible

I noticed the SDS had been added when I tried to do a system restore because of problem with recognition of blank discs in either CD-Rom or the CD/DVD Writer drive. I tried restore before the SDS first appeared and got the message that I couldn't. Really curious where this SDS came from, what it supposedly does, and how to get rid of it.

I have exactly the same problem - I am now unable to log in on my yahoo email. no spyware no virus. please help - I will do the same if I find the solution.
