Error 403 accessing Windows Updates

Have a user who is getting this error when trying to check for updates. Website checks for necessary files, then comes back with a 403 error denying access.

I searched technet, they suggest:

turning off anti virus (did - same error).
turn off web accelerator (there is none)
download scripten.exe and run (says the one on machine is newer and terminates)

Update: Also tried adding windowsupdate.com and windowsupdate.microsoft.com in trusted sites - no luck.
Tried ipconfig /flushdns - ipconfig /registerdns - no joy.

Any ideas on where to go further?
