I believe that it is your own machine, rather than Microsoft's site, which
has been hijacked.

Here are alternative URL's to obtain the patch you are looking for:

*
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2354406c-c5b6-44ac-9532-3de40f69c074&displaylang=en
*
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3-19990518/cabpool/WindowsXP-KB823980-x86-ENU_1d296adab6699e66210e5a350236381.exe

http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/8/b/98bcfad8-afbc-458f-aaee-b7a52a983f01/WindowsXP-KB823980-x86-ENU.exe

Each of these URLS--look closely at them to note that they all involve
legitimate microsoft sites!--should get you the same code.

About the problem with your browser:
