• HELP error code: 80072efe - cannot download or install security updates or update the definitions of viruses and spyware

  Help, please!

  I am running Vista Home Premium 32 bit on SP2.

  I just had my McAfee security expires and since I was not able to install security updates.

  I uninstalled McAfee and searched my system to make sure that it is completely gone, then I installed Microsoft Security Essentials.

  I was able to update its definitions of once and since I was not able to do so once again - instead, I get the error message "Virus and Spyware definitions update failed" and the code of error 0x80072efe

  I have since run a full scan of the system and the following were found on my system:

  -Trojan Dropper

  -Trojan notifier

  -Trojan Downloader

  -Virus: Win32/Alureon.H

  It is said that they have been removed - I'm not sure if they have something to do with my problems of system...

  Also my windows update still does not go to download security updates, and it still gives me the same error code.

  Is there a way to fix this?

  Thank you very much

  Also, the first update failed installed has been updated for Windows Vista (KB955430)

  The last successful security update was security update for Windows Vista (KB979309)

  The one who follows - update security for Windows Vista (KB978338) failed and there all security updates do not have

  I just had my McAfee security expire... I installed Microsoft Security Essentials.

• I just downloaded the latest Windows updates, now online videos don't work on Firefox but on other browsers, does anyone else have this problem?

  After that download the latest version of Windows Update, I found that I could not play videos on YouTube or other sites. Switching to other browsers I found that I could play these same videos now without any problems. So I did a system restore to determine if updates of Windows had hit video play using Firefox. The restore point has been updated with the day before the download of Windows has occurred. After System Restore has been completed I could now play videos using the Firefox browser.

  To ensure that Windows Update has been the problem, I downloaded again the most recent Windows updates and once more could not play videos on any site using Firefox. System Restore has been used to put my computer on the eve again and once more the OE videos would play in the Firefox browser.

  In fact, your answer took me in a different direction and I found this on the Adobe site:

  The extension of RealPlayer for Firefox, the download and registration, has problems of compatibility with Flash Player 11.3. If RealPlayer is installed Flash Player content does not appear. YouTube provides an error message when you try to view a video.

  To work around the problem, do the following:

     Start RealPlayer.
  

     Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner and select Preferences.
  

     Select Download & Recording in the left menu and deselect Enable Web Download & Recording for These Installed Browsers option.
  

     Click OK and restart Mozilla Firefox.
  

  Once I did this I could replay now videos in Firefox.
