Can't update without Windows of self-destruction!

• I can't update the Windows Defender definitions and get this message: the program can't check for definition updates. Error: Code 0xc8000408.

  Impossible to find info on what this means or what to do so I can again update in Windows Defender. This error message has begun to appear recently, or at least I think. I thought it was set to automatic update, but when I tried to do it manually because it says it's expired. Tried several times but get the same message every time.

  You are welcome. Your computer must NOT be connected to the internet or networks without a fully functional antivirus, completely update installed application. But first, let's take care of any Norton "leftovers"...

  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).

  3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  Now, you will need to download/install an antivirus application. While I do not recommend professionally AVG, you might find that AVG Free 9.0 more compatible if you choose a CUSTOM this time installation above and don't install NOT of Linkscanner Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, security or the email of crawl components toolbar.

  Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email
     http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htm

  Otherwise, I can recommend Microsoft Security Essentials*, Avira AntiVirand Avast (all free) and NOD32 and Kaspersky (not the suites 'internet security'). After you have installed your AV application selected, manually & repeatedly updated until you get one invites 'no more updates'.

  [Avoid Norton & McAfee IMHO applications.]

  =============================
  * Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) includes components of antivirus and antispyware protection. The latter will replace (and must turn off automatically) Windows Defender in Vista.

  Hello Linda,.

  One of the problems that you have is not knowing the best way to use this forum. If a proposed solution to a question does not work, you must reply to this message and tell the person why he does not. You answer by clicking on the button answer at the bottom of the post.

  Creating a new question for this issue, it is not the best way to get your issue is resolved.

  That said, if you read the instructions I have given in this thread...

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-windows_update/i-am-trying-to-update-my-Windows-XP-Home-Edition/ae21928e-62B0-4D2E-92E8-a9f1d35da16a

  .. you will see that I said you don't need SP2, you can go directly to SP3. This may or may not solve your problem of download, but I do not think. If my suspicion is confirmed you can try to download on another PC or use another browser like chrome or firefox?

  If download you on another PC, you can save the service pack setup programs for, for example, a USB key, which you can then take the PC afflicted and run directly from the key.

  If you chose to go with my instructions, answer in this thread or in the thread above but stick with you answer in whichever you choose. Do not start a new question and do not switch between threads when you reply.

• Can I update to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit of Windows Vista Edition full 32 bit?

  I've updated for Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and had to use the 32-bit version, so I wouldn't lose my data.

  I have a ThinkPad T61 with a Permas Core 2 Duo CPU T9500 with 4 GB of RAM.

  Can I upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit of Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit OS without losing my data?  If I can, my programs work with the 64 bit version?  In addition, what are the benefits of upgrading to the 64-bit version?

  No, you will need to do a clean install.

  The paths of upgrade from 32 to 64-bit are not possible in addition to the professional Ultimate editions are not possible.

  After scanning my computer and remove a lot of virus, I tried to update my windows... well, the Web page does not open... I have access to any page but when I try to update windows, it does not work. It may be useful... Before I had tried to open it, it appeared a message on the screen: generic host process for win32 services error and must be closed. In any case, I scanned with spybot search and destroy and discovered it was viruses, as well as I found many others... so I cleaned it but I can not yet day... I tried a lot of things!

• I can't update my windows. the internet page will not open.

  Well... My computer slows down after a message appears on the screen saying: generic host for win32.exe error services process... In any case, I tried everything until I scanned by Spybot search and destroy and discovered that it was a virus and of course I found the others, including a file from microsoft... I've cleaned and tried to update my windows and it does not work... It drives me crazy and I don't know there are still some viruses on my computer, but I don't think that spybot is help me more.

  Quote your full version of Windows (for example, WinXP SP3;) Windows XP 64 - bit SP2; Vista SP1; Vista 64 - bit SP2; Win7; Win7 64 bit) when you post in a forum or a newsgroup. Please do it in your next reply.

  What application or antivirus security suite is installed and your current subscription?  What anti-spyware (other than Defender) applications?  What third-party firewall (if applicable)?

  A (another) Norton or McAfee application has already been installed on the computer (for example, a free trial version which is preinstalled when you bought it)?

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  NB: If you had no installed anti-virus application or subscription has expired * when the machine was first infected * and/or your subscription has expired since and/or the machine is not kept fully corrected in Windows Update, don't waste your time with any of the following: Format & reinstall Windows.  A repair install won't help!

• I can't update to Windows XP (KB2656369) - the site has encountered a problem

  I can't update Windows XP.  I scanned the various suggestions and tried several proposed solutions, nothing helps.  For example, I used various Microsoft 'FixIt' 'solutions '.  They fix anything, even if at some point, the computer ran at 50% of CPU all night, until I have made a difficult start in the morning.   I used msconfig to do not use 'start-ups' and load only the Microsoft Services.  I went to %windir%\System32 and renamed the "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" folder in smth else.  All this makes me a bit, but I don't get a resolution.  Here's what's happening.  I go to the "Windows Update" site.  I got now especially the time the problem "the website has encountered a problem..." "and to get to the place where it says"Custom Installation"or"Quick Installation ".  If do "Quick Installation", it starts to download the first file, but then gets stuck at the last 0.10 MB and just hangs there: I left turn overnight, several times, did not go anywhere.  So, I tried "Custom Installation", try just a single one of the elements that are listed there.  I tried the first, it was 0.5 MB or so download-very well, but failed to install.  The site recommends then click on "Update history", but which is empty.  I tried the whole procedure again to other items in the list.  For example, right now, I'm trying the "Security Update for Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 SP2 on Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x 86 (KB2656369) (update 1 of 1).  I downloaded it, it said to install, it landed in the Middle for about five minutes, now the green bar is full, but nothing happens (it seems to have the difficulty of finishing).  I'll let it stand overnight even once, see if it's going to be himself tidy, but I doubt.  I should mention that I have a "svchost.exe" process, sitting at 1,507500 Mo (which is 1.5 GB) 'Mem use '.  It is not a virus (I checked with Malwarebytes, as well as the auditor of MS, as well as various suggestions on the website - it comes to Microsoft).  Sometimes, this process consumes 50% of CPU or more.  Auto-update seems to have something to do with it: in all cases, auto-day do not what it is promising.

  OK, what I'm doing wrong?  And what I don't understand: why I can not download the updates manually and install it manually?  It would be a step forward...  But more importantly: How can I solve this problem?

  Thank you. I'm trying.
