Windows Update - IE10 - Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 - 9C59 error

CheckSUR actually managed to find and fix one problem...

Code:

Checking Package Manifests and Catalogs
(f) CBS Catalog Missing 0x00000002 servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB2804579~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.0.cat

The SFC scan found one rather important error...

Code:

I'll post back with a fix protocol a little later.

I've uploaded a file - lkpaa.zip - to my SkyDrive at Noel's SkyDrive
Please download and save it.
Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all...
Change the target to C:\ and click on Extract
Close all windows (it would be a good idea to print these instructions!)
Now reboot to the Repair Environment - as soon as the machine restarts, start tapping F8 - this should bring up the Advanced Boot Menu, at the top of which should be the option 'Repair my Computer'
Pick that
You'll have to log in with your username and password.
Pick the option to use a Command Prompt
At the prompt type
DIR C:\lkpaa
hit the enter key - if you get a 'Not Found' error try
DIR D:\lkpaa
or
DIR E:\lkpaa

The drive letter in use when you find the folder will need to be substituted (for<drive>) into the following command...

XCOPY <drive>:\lkpaa <drive>:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h

(e.g.XCOPY P:\wfire P:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h )

run the command (it should take almost no time)and when the prompt returns, type
EXIT
and hit the Enter key to exit Command Prompt - reboot to Normal Mode Windows.
Now run SFC /SCANNOW in an Elevated Command Prompt
then reboot and upload the new CBS.log file to your reply.

That appears to have worked :)

See what happes with Windows Update now - if it fails again, post the C:\Windows\windowsupdate.log file and we'll take a look.

The 80072EE2 error is a standard 'lost connection to internet' type of error.

The MSRT appears to be failing - also with a 9C59 error - this is NOT good news, and could indicate the presence of serious malware.

Please download and install Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free version) from http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ - UNtick 'Enable free trial of MBAM PRO' at the end of the installation - and update it, then run a full scan in your main account, and Quick scans in any other user accounts.

Delete everything it finds
