SBS 2008 hangs during searching updates

Question
-
Hi,
I've a problem with windows update on an SBS 2008. It hangs during searching updates. After 3 hours nothing changed. svchost.exe is still using 13% CPU (1 core). I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum, but I don't think that it's an WSUS-related problem.
I've tried to reinstall the windows update agent and cleaned the Softwaredistribution-folder. Nothing helps!
Here is some part of the log:

Yes! Some hours ago I read about those Exchange-Antispam-Updates. I created a view for definition-updates and declined more than 30 of those updates.
After I've stopped the windows-update-service, deleted the softwaredestributionfolder and restarted the service it took about 2 hours, and then windows-update worked again :)
Thanks!
