I experienced a strange error with Windows Update and Exchange 2007 AntiSpam updates on Windows Server 2008. When I enabled Exchange AntiSpam updates Windows Update would never stop looking for updates. The host process for Windows Update, Svchost.exe, would run at 100% of one CPU core and never stop. I had to kill the process in Task Manager. It was like there was an infinite loop condition somewhere in the code. When I disabled AntiSpam updates in Exchange Windows Update functioned properly again.
