Previously, McAfee SecurityCenter has been installed on my pc, but it has been replaced by McAfee Total Protectiononce the subscription has expired. [It isunderlining] I remember getting a Norton trial software installed at a given moment, but this has been removed to make room for software McAfee, to ensure that there is no conflict between the programs.
You should have installed McAfee Total Protection before as your McAfee Security Center subscription expires. If you're lucky, the following may solve your problem:
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
1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop:http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).
3. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.
4. now run this triple McAfee fix: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507
[Note that you you already downloaded the removal tool in my # 1 step b above.] You will restart three times: after uninstalling McAfee Total Protection; After you run the removal tool; and then the reinstallation of McAfee Total Protection.]
5. after reinstalling McAfee Total Protection, manually & repeatedly update the app until you get a prompt "no update more".
6. for good measure an another Windows update reset (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058), restart once again & test.

Hello
Could you please,
Method 1:
Disable the firewall or other Internet browser programs that can affect the Internet connection.
Second method:
Please Note: I assume that your Windows 7 is installed in the C:\ Directory.
1. click on start, run, type 'services. MSC"and press ENTER.
2. double-click Cryptographic Services and then click on stop (if it has been started).
3. Locate the folder «C:\Windows\System32\»
4 delete the Catroot2 folder in System32.
5. Click Start, click Run, type 'services. MSC"and press ENTER.
6 double-click on Cryptographic Services and then click Start.
After completing the above steps please try again update again.

Windows 7 - error Code: 80072EFE (cannot install updates)
I can't get windows updates: using Windows7 & IE8. Last update was right on 18/06/2010 and for some Win7 updates are blocked or I get this error 80072EFE code. I bought a registry Fixer that said he could solve this problem, but it did not. Troubleshooting in Win7 will not fix the problem. I tried other suggestions of forums, but they do not work, some offer suggestions for Vista. Vista and Win7 are different. I use McAfee Total Protection Service and it automatically uninstalls the Windows Firewall. Even if I disable McAfee error code is displayed. If anyone can help with this? Thank you

-Online skip the section to APPLY to if Win7; Access KB971058 via IE8 (32-bit) only. Run the DEFAULT difficulty and then restart AGGRESSIVE modes,.

I tried several fixes for Windows Update to work, but I still get the error 80072EFE code. Windows suggested going to a program called "Fixit", but when I click on it, another window pops up saying that windows cannot connect to this site. I'm not an expert, but would classify me as pretty good for solving problems, but this one left me speechless. I have not installed anything back to my computer. The last time that I could do a update 12/15/10. Help!
ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED 0X80072EFE
What is the result of a security/antivirus installed (SS); It's current subscription; its definitions are up to date; has whatever it is detected the last time that the system has been analyzed for the presence of malware?
Were there updates/updates recently installed for the installed AV/SS?Another aspect that may be at play here is the home network. The networked system via a wireless or wired router connection?
This specific error may be temporary or, as has been the case in the course of the 4 or 5 months indicated by messages on this forum, it's a sign that malware prevents the system to connect to the update servers.
The system is having trouble connecting with all the addresses of Microsoft.com?
