    Cannot receive any Window Updates


    It may be malware (that's another problem) but regardless, I can NOT download any, that's any, Windows Updates... instead I read " error code 80072EE2

    I have tried for at least a year and still no luck. I feel it may be malware because my browser (IE8) can't access most Microwave pages and without Updates I can forget about IE9. I've done a Recovery but still no change.Is there a soution?

    One of Security Experts might chime in here. A full year without any updates?
    Are you able to access other websites? Are you experiencing any other Malware related problems? What do you have in the way of security software?? (anti virus, anti malware, firewall).

    Hi! zarnic, welcome to 7F :)

    When was the last time you ran any malware scans? No matter, from your posts I would guess about a year. Let us start there first.

    If you are able to download at all go here: Malicious Software Removal Tool | Protect Your Computer Download and run the tool.
    Then a little further down you will see a link for Live One Care, download and run that also.

    Post back any results, good or bad.
    You need to get rid of / make sure you do not have the nasties before you can get anything else to work properly.

    Wow! I didn't expect this level of interest. Been living too long with the no-update problem that I've become complacent.

    Techmonkey74:
    Yes I can see other web sites and some Microsoft, as long as I don't download.

    The Anti-(whatever) that I have used, or do, includes Malware Bytes, Norton, Antivira, and McAfee but little has changed. Maybe my problem is not a malware issue but it does seem strange that Windows is the only victum and sites that offer malware products can not usually be accessed.

    Anak:
    I tried to download the Malicious Software Tool and got " Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" in a seperate window... typical response.

    As for ' Live One Care ', went there but read "As of October 2009, Windows Live OneCare sales were discontinued in all markets. Product support ended on April 11, 2011.As of October 2009, Windows Live OneCare sales were discontinued in all markets. Product support ended on April 11, 2011...."

    Again I think one of our Security Experts needs to chime in but I believe Antivira is a FAKE (rouge) Anti Virus nasty. Also I would not recommend running more than one Anti Virus program at once, Norton and Mcafee don't play well with each other.

    TY techmonkey74, have to agree about the multiple Anti-Virus programs and I stay away from doing that. McAfee was a one time deal and is gone now. As for Antivira, am happy with it and the controversey continues ... we'll see.

    • Please download Dial-A-Fix from one of the following mirrors:
    • Extract the zip file to your desktop.
    • Double click Dial-a-Fix.exe to start the program.
    • Press the green double checkmark box (Looks like this: )
    • UNcheck Empty Temp Folders, as well as Adjust Time/Date in the prep section. The prep section should then look like this:

    • Click on go
    • Exit/Close Dial-A-Fix
    Next please go to windows update and install all critical updates
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...windows-update
    Reboot, and see if that solves your update issues
