After Windows 7 "Security Update" _ * WU client version 7.3.7600.16385

OK, so not older Toshiba XP drivers are installed on this machine, strictly Microsoft except for one driver HP for a Toshiba SD drive and and a Cisco-Linksys driver for a USB WiFi key.

Other software no MS: apache (apache.org), PHP (php.net), Java (Sun), Eclipse (Eclipse.org) and Postgres (EnterpriseDB.com).

Anyway now to the problem:

I automatically download an update of Windows 7 security and it breaks any network somehow. Local and remote. Something about a proxy is not not available although I never set up a.

Another, funny, buggy behavior is also the IE 8 has gotten me through this intro screen where you choose the search engines and others several times (for example after a reboot when a new Windows Update patch).

But anyway, back to the network / proxy bug. Cannot view the event log, or connect to any network. Of course Wi-Fi manages not to connect and everything you could imagine connected to networks (logical and dumb, as not having does not event viewer available unless the network software is running).

So stuck here at the end of the WindowsUpdate.log file since the last update (after several reboots: I uninstalled I thought, it was the last update before one reboots)

And after that the ntbtlog.txt

And modified a file I don't have any idea what it is, but he has time stamps in there from July 13 (I guess that's the day of the last build of Windows 7 before the RTM version) and November 2.

What makes this same lovier is I bet after finally getting this race I'll have to call Microsoft to get active this and explain to them that, Yes, it is true that I paid for this Windows 7 and it is a true copy. And yes I only have this installed on a computer.

[Sorry for the AVG bit. Don't know where it came out.]

Are you running Win7 RTM, have you upgraded to Win7 Final, or is - a new computer with Win7 preinstalled?

Further examination of the WU log you posted we said you have Windows Update Agent v7.3.7600.16385 installed, not the most recent v7.4.7600.266. If you have not already done so, see if the manual installation of the last fixes the problem:

1. Select the appropriate download (probably x 86 - Windows versions), save the download to your desktop: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946928

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. Do not touch your keyboard until installation is complete.

4. re-start, even if not invited to do so.

5 test.
