Hi
Same problem here on two PC. Tried to uninstall update 2982791. Same fault. Tried with windows update troubleshooter. Same fault. sfc verification found no fault.

I was having the same problem, after a lot off searching and not finding much, I came across a response on a form and it said to add in a dns setting 8.8.4.4, did this no problems sense, hope this helps :)
Yo! Good find. That's goggle DNS, works here as well, tested several times: 'Obtain DNS server automatically' > restart > update always fails, using 8.8.4.4 \ 8.8.8.8 > restart > always works.
So seems MS has done some change that made manual update 'invisible' on many of the world's active DNS's. Let's see how the whole story unwinds.
This is starting to go crazy. Mine worked for awhile and then stopped. I removed that KB 2993651 again and restarted. When Windows came back there was a notification on my shutdown button that an update was waiting. I clicked on it and my machine shutdown. When I restarted it, a giant banner went across the screen saying something about application 73??? I can now click on WU and it works again. For how long, I have no idea. Very strange.
Tested on another pc with the same update error, works fine with google dns, and also opendns 208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220
Try uninstalling Norton and running the Norton Removal tool - after at least TWO reboots, then re-install an AV (Norton or otherwise) and see what happens.
