Sorry about that - it got past me!
This seems to bethe critical problem from the windowsupdate log...

Code:

Have you tried running the SP1 install from the standalone package?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=5842

I wasn't sure which files to download, but I did try downloading and installing these two files (both failed to install SP1).

• windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe
• windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe

Do I need to download all of those files? I'm a little confused about which one I should actually download.

I tried two of the files on that page, but neither worked. These were the ones that I tried.

• windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe
• windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe

Should I be downloading a different file from that link?

Do you have any registry cleaners/optimizers installed - any 'system tweakers'??

I'm not sure what those type of programs are. Is there any way to find out if I do have them installed?

NoelDP said:

Any programs created by 'Iolo', 'IOBit', 'Wise', 'Uniblue' - or similar scareware manufacturer?


Please download and install Malwarebytes Anti-malware (free version) from http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ - UNtick 'Enable free trial of MBAM Premium' 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.

Quarantine everything it finds

Thanks for your continued support on this issue. I don't have any of those type of programs installed. I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes. Below is a screenshot of the "threatened" files. After I quarantined the files, I attempted to download SP1 and it failed again. Attached is the most recent update log.

I noticed the ProPCCLeaner stuff as well
This is definitely scareware - and dangerous.

There's still no helpful data in the windowsupdate.log file
My problem is that the UID that windows update uses is only present in the errors - and not in the detections, so I have no idea which update it refers to.

I really have no idea where to go next, apart from a repair install or a clean install

I just noticed that your Specs say you have Windows 7 Pro SP1 installed - but this thread is about the failure to install SP1!
Wishful thinking, or different machine?

Interesting, thanks for looking into this. I updated my system specs using Layback Bear's advice. I didn't see anywhere that SP1 was installed and I just double checked my system information under my control panel, so I think that would just be wishful thinking.

How do I go about a repair install? Do I need the Windows disc? Unfortunately, I'm afraid I might not have the disc anymore.
