Basically, their application is attempting to contact their server for a list of available software/updates, but their server is offline/cannot be found. The only thing you can do is give it a day or two and try again, hoping they correct their server issues.

We got an email today from TechRepublic advising us about a new product, FreewareUpdater, that not only informs the user where to find freeware online, but automatically updates it, too. Trouble is, it keeps sending the following alert. Does anyone have any suggestions for solving this problem? We use Windows XP Service Pack 2, Firefox 2.0.0.13, and a variety of other programs.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
