  OS: Windows XP: SP3

  I currently have problems to connect to Windows Update. I can't connect to the site at all and is the "this page cannot be displayed" whenever I try to open it. When you try to update Microsoft Security Essentials, I get error 0x80072EFE. I have already reset Windows Update by the fix in default and in aggressive mode with nothing doesn't.

  EDIT: I also ran several different viruses, malware, and trojan scanners so I'm probably clean them.

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

• (Windows 2000) Error #0x80072EFE when you try to run Windows/Microsoft Update

  Hello world. I hope you don't mind offering support for a Windows 2000 based platform here, (I don't think Windows Update deferred much, if at all between the two operating systems)

  In any case, all of a sudden, I get error 0x80072EFE in Windows Update all of a sudden. I tried several troubleshooting steps, delete the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to just reboot my computer. Nothing seems to work, and I hope someone has a step that will be.

• Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage, 0x80072efe

  the first problem I have is that I can't update my windows using the update I get the above error.  I can get on the web that you can see in me to be here, but cannot be updated.  The second problem is that when trying to update the window essential I receive the second error message.  I have spybot and a few other anti programs anti-virus but have used the removal tools listed.  Is it possible that Spybot has changed something.  I tried including advanced troubleshooting failures, but nothing helped.  I have a drive to restore if necessary.

  Assuming WinXP SP3...

  1. what follow-up of application or security anti-virus is/has been installed and is / was your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  2 a (another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the computer?

  3. do you have a Norton or a trial of free McAfee come preinstalled on the computer when you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

• XP Media Center - unable to connect to Windows Update MSE fails with the error Code: 0X80072EFE

  OS: Windows XP Media Center: SP3, P4 3.20 Ghz, 1 GB of memory IE V8 processor

I diagnose the network connection and he came back with no problems found. I can download & install Microsoft Security Essentials, but I get error 0x80072EFE when I try to update. Note: MSE seems to update on its own, but not via the update button. I reset IE8 by default as well as the windows firewall and the IP (Winsockfix.exe) stack

  I also ran several different viruses, malware and Trojan scanners and all are own return. (AVG, Norton Security scan, MSE. I tried to run the scan to Microsoft Live, but the page froze when I tried to download it. It seems that any Microsoft Security site is blocked for some reason any. A Hijack log is available if needed?

  I had some browser redirect issues (I suspect the Virus), but it was very random and seems to have settled down. The main problem now is to get the update in the system and the MSE.

  Thank you

• Vista - Error Codes: 0X80072EFE & 0X800705B4 after recovering from Malware

  My computer has been infected with Antimalware Doctor and to end the task a message appeared that read something like: "sendrequesttoserverforfileinformation failed. operations are stop/close ' or something on a subserver fault (I got pictures of my screen so I could refer to files and paths so the only I did not capture was the first message from server failure). [Antimalware Doctor had infected my computer once before and I solved the problem of this first time ]. I immediately searched on sendrequesttoserver... (because it was not the first time) and read something that said it will stop your printer driver (?). Because I don't have a hung printer would not be a problem now.

  Like the first time, I managed to locate the files in the path: user_name\AppData\Roaming\6C3E7952FB26425C6BF10F68BD53C4E1 (even in the folder of the path as the first time that I had captured an image then too). The files in the folder in the path this time were:070700Setup.exe (the first time, this file is named gotnewupdate000.exe), enemies - noms.txt, the andlocal.ini.

  Unlike the first time, I found a file (that I thought looked stranger / unusual) in the path: user_name\AppData\Roaming, who was namede7df18f3.exe (had a picture of what looked like a sheep or lama as its icon). Then I restored my system update this morning there, and when I did it seems to get rid of Antimalware Doctor. All of these mentioned files are gone EXCEPT enemies - noms.txt and the folder named '6C3E7952FB26425O6BF10F68BD53C4E1' in roaming pathfolder, which I deleted as well (not the Roaming pathfolder just the folder with long available to the numbers and letters). The antimalwaredoctor.exe file and the files program and start menu were all gone, too.

  Thought that the problem has been resolved...

  At this point, Microsoft Essentials popped up and said he did not have an update connections failed. When I tried again, a message box pops up reading "updated Virus & spyware definitions failed... unable to connect to the internet". Details or said technical support information "error code: 0x80072efe... could not install." "Please try again later". Windows Update gives the same error message. I then tried turning on Windows Defender, but after a short time, in which nothing loaded a message popped up saying, ' Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x800705b4.» This operation completed because the time-out period expired. »

  I wonder if somehow a driver/drivers have been closed toward the low or affected which have to do with Windows Update, MSE, and Windows Defender, etc. I was able to go on the site Web de Microsoft Security Essentials and do an update via the Security Portal. I tried to use all kinds of antivirus, antispyware progams as suggested by the forum but none seem to do nothing (a part to find regular cookies). I restarted my computer when it is required, and I am still getting these error messages. I thought it's important to mention all the details (that's why I mentioned all the files I've seen) so that it can help you understand the situation. If you wish, I could post the capture images that I have. Please notify.

  Microsoft community,

  Recently, we started to receive 0x80072EFE when you try to download updates.  I tried without success to the following:

  1 renamed the c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution .old folder so that it would create a new.

  2 Ran Fit of Microsoft for Windows updates.  He said that she finds the problems and fixed them.

  3 Ran Malwarebyte and ATS, and no malware has been detected

  4. check the proxy settings and none are enabled
