    Important:

    This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • My Windows Vista is not all important security updates. Error message that says that one or more components of Windows Update are configured incorrectly.

    I have tried to trouble IT 50202, but which failed due to the error 2678!  Support center has no solution.  Microsoft site does not have its own error code 2678.  Ridiculous.

    This was a huge waste of time and effort because he tries and fails to reinstall everytime I stop.

    RECAP:

    • You bought the computer in January 2009;
    • The computer came with a preinstalled free McAfee;
    • A McAfee application was permanently installed until you have installed Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) on 23 August 2012;
    • You first met the problems associated with malware (according to MBAM) in June 2010, the first year of your McAfee subscription.
    • You have problems with Windows Update (MSE) on October 12, 2013, more than a year after you have installed MSE;
    • You have improved the pre-installed McAfee free trial to the full version rather than uninstall the free trialware, running the tool to remove McAfee & then make a clean installation of the paid version.
    • You have uninstalled the McAfee application until you have installed MSE but you don't not download/run the removal tool from McAfee before installing MSE.

    MY HUMBLE OPINION...

    • It was too late for the "come to the rescue" McAfee removal tool here.
    • There is a possibility, but remote, you see the effects of an infection for a long time of a certain type (because MSE has not been installed correctly & so never worked properly due to 'remains' of McAfee).
    • The computer must be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

    Then what are you doing now?

    OPTION A: You can get Microsoft-sponsored Premium (i.e., paid) supported by the Office of response-online http://answerdesk.microsoftstore.com [1]

    If you need additional help with the clean install, please start your own new thread in this forum & advice: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-system

    If these procedures are outside your technique "comfort zone" - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the local computer, reputable and independent (i.e., not a 'BigBoxStore' or Geek Squad!) computer repair shop & let them do the work.

    OPTION C: Bite the bullet & buy a new computer (Win7).

    • If you want to transfer your personal data to the new computer, backup data from one or more DVDs (no shine). Perform analyses considered at least two 2 online (e.g., ESET;) Kaspersky; Bit Defender) of the DVD (s) before you transfer the data to the new computer.

    Hi B_Tan,

    Please take a look at the following information previously published by TaurArian:

    Press OK

    If this did not help, you may be re-recorded some files more:

    1. click on start.
    2. choose Execute.
    3. in the run box, type (pressing well after each one): -.

    Don't have to give a grumpy response. Just thought you might know :>(

    What is in a bad mood?  I pointed out that you should ask.  Simple and without any emotion.

    I think it's a reasonable question to ask why you would think that you need here on the bandwidth of your Internet service provider strategies... Maybe they got you, etc.  It never hurts to know why someone wants to know something - because maybe you can actually get to the root of their problem if you find out why they have the problem.

    Also - I doubt your worries ISP that the traffic is... in / to your modem traffic is traffic. necessary for you or not.  How do they even know?  Updates for Windows may be necessary for your safety - but if I run Ubuntu only, not for me.  What happens if I only have a TV and boxes that use the internet - what their updates?  Apple OS X?  Enough of android tablets?  etc...  It is highly unlikely that they want to achieve in the area of tracking everything you do - like that takes time/effort and they pay someone to deal with that.  ;-)
