I reformatted my drive 2 nights ago after a trojan gave me trouble.
Naturally I'm getting tons of updates and some won't update.
I had this problem before, came here and got a fix. This fix isn't working this time around.
I have looked thru other posts with the same issue but 2 things didn't work for me and I was confused by other posts as the posters knew more about the pc than I do.
Can someone help?
Thank you.
These are other updates that haven't installed:

KB2434419

KB2483614
I'm still going thru the list
Ok well now microsoft hid my error. They couldn't fix my error, so they hid it.
I unhid it. It says error code 8007065E
It looks to me from a quick search as if the biggest cause of this error code is malware - what Anti-Virus are you using? - is it up-to-date?
I was using malwarebytes, but uninstalled it last night. The Anti-Virus I'm using is Microsoft's Security Essential.
Should be OK then - has it flagged anything at all? run a full system scan to check.
If nothing found, try renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder.
1. Log on an account with administrator privileges.
2. Click the Start Button, click "All programs", and click "Accessories".
3. Right-click "Command Prompt", and click "Run as administrator".
4. In "Administrator: Command Prompt" window, type in "net stop WuAuServ" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
5. Type " REN %WINDIR%\SOFTWAREDISTRIBUTION SDOLD" (without the quotes) and press Enter
6. Type "net start WuAuServ" (without the quotes) to restart the Windows Updates service.
Wait 10 minutes, and reboot - then do a manual check for updates, and see if that's helped.
My scan takes 3 or 4 hours so I'll be back. Thank you
Ok 8 bad guys were found and they were taken care of. I don't know if I proceed or not with your fix because of those results? .. I'm wondering why and how my java had a virus? 4 Java viruses, 2 trojan spywares and 2 exploit javas. I just reformatted so those viruses were taken over when I put everything back on?? I just answered my own question. These viruses were found in the Windows.old.000
That scan took 16 hours because of sleep mode!
Can I also ask, while I'm here, if there is any way to delete those old window folders?
