    Overcoming Stuck On Checking For Updates...


    Hi,
    I'm at my wits end.
    I've recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium.
    The problem is trying to install updates.
    Basically its stuck at checking.
    I've had numerous phone calls with Microsoft who went through their troubleshooting steps to eventually come up with...no resolution. Apart from the offer of starting a paid subscription so I could receive help from a 'senior technician'. Family budgets curtailed that particular route.
    Prior to this I'd scoured the internet for help with the problem and come across various solutions that didn't help or were to technically detailed for my modest 'skills'.
    I've also tried WSUSOffline, which seemed to be going in the right direction until my anti-virus software went into overdrive insisting I remove the accumulation of Trojans that were manifesting. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Were all volunteers here, so we help when we have the time, and its the week-end so dont expect miracles
    Posting sarcastics remarks makes matters worse.

    Oh and by the way with your system infected by trojans im not surprised updates wont work, sounds like your install media was infected, you need to follow your AV's advise and remove them

    Suggest you also D/L Malwarebytes free and run that

    I am not responding sarcastically.
    I received a notification e-mail from the website from logo897 with a response to my enquiry. I used the link and wrote the response, then posted.
    I then realised I was inadvertently responding to my own question.
    It was done in error.
    So, I understand your response and don't expect an apology. :)

    Still not receiving updates after a fresh install and new product activation so I'm stuck with wondering if a third party DL would be an option. Autopatcher,etc?

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    See if this works
    Stuck forever on Checking for updates...

    Oops if it's a clean install check this one out
    Reinstalled twice, but Windows still won't update
