After that,

Disable the proxy internet connection and try again to install the update.

The procedure to disable the proxy connection is as follows:

1. Open Internet Explorer and click on Tools->Internet Options
2. Goto Connections and LAN Settings
3. Check to make sure the Proxy server is disabled.

The second case would be with your Antivirus. There are proxy settings enabled under the settings of any security programs that you may be using. If you cannot find the procedure to stop it, you can ask our techs on chat support to guide you.
