It sounds like you have been infected with Conficker which prevents you from getting to the update sites for various Security products you have installed. You must first clean it off before those products will updated. There are cleaners out there you can download for free.

See them at this link

If you want a quick check to determine if you are infected with this Particular Conficker, go to this site and take the test.
Conficker Eye Chart Test.

Explanation:
Conficker (aka Downadup, Kido) is known to block access to over 100 anti-virus and security websites.
If you are blocked from loading the remote images in the first row of the top table above (AV/security sites) but not blocked from loading the remote images in the second row (websites of alternative operating systems) then your Windows PC may be infected by Conficker (or some other malicious software).

If you can see all six images in both rows of the top table, you are either not infected by Conficker, or you may be using a proxy server, in which case you will not be able to use this test to make an accurate determination, since Conficker will be unable to block you from viewing the AV/security sites.
