Do you turn off panda while installing updates?, if you dont you might need to ad microsoft site to your ''YES'' list in your Panda settings for secure sites. Or turn off Panda while you do your updating.

Is your version of XP Home a valid version or a pirated one, if its pirated it wont download the security updates,

Have you got the Microsoft validation tool which authenticates your version of XP as being authentic? its a download from Microsoft itself which is specifically for validating all versions/copies of ''Windows''.

Have a look here and see if this helps http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892130/e...

Could be that Pando Internet security has modified your Window's registry to blocking updates.

The WindowsUpdateENABLED.REG file at the bottom of the following page can re-enable windows update:
