See if this MS article helps.  Unavoidably there is a part repeat of earlier suggestions>

".. error message when you search for available updates on the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update website":
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883821

Which states ...
0x80248011 error code
Before you resolve this problem, clear the Microsoft Internet Explorer cache. To do this, following these steps:
On the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the General tab, click Delete Files in the Temporary Internet Files section.
Click OK, and then click OK again.
To resolve this error, recreate the database that stores Windows Update information or Microsoft Update information on your computer. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: net stop wuauserv
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: cd /d c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

Where c:\Windows is the folder where Windows is installed.
At the command prompt, type the following command including the quotes, and then press ENTER: rd /S /Q DataStore
At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER: net start wuauserv.
Exit the command prompt window.

Jonvee--Yes, it is a repeat of the link http://www.updatexp.com/0x80248011.html
in my post above.  The MS article probably was the basis for what Marc Liron--MS MVP put on that website.

steveurich--Looking forward to hearing what the situation is after you try some of the ideas above.
Jonvee--I meant to mention that danthegreat1's first post also has part of the same suggestions.  So if that part solves the problem he beat us both to it.
jcimarron .. i really put that link in for completeness, to give steveurich the best chance of a resolution.  But you're right, if it succeeds danthegreat1 has beat us both.
Just like you said, jcimarron   ; )
