• Vista - Error Codes: 0X80072EFE & 0X800705B4 after recovering from Malware

  My computer has been infected with Antimalware Doctor and to end the task a message appeared that read something like: "sendrequesttoserverforfileinformation failed. operations are stop/close ' or something on a subserver fault (I got pictures of my screen so I could refer to files and paths so the only I did not capture was the first message from server failure). [Antimalware Doctor had infected my computer once before and I solved the problem of this first time ]. I immediately searched on sendrequesttoserver... (because it was not the first time) and read something that said it will stop your printer driver (?). Because I don't have a hung printer would not be a problem now.

  Like the first time, I managed to locate the files in the path: user_name\AppData\Roaming\6C3E7952FB26425C6BF10F68BD53C4E1 (even in the folder of the path as the first time that I had captured an image then too). The files in the folder in the path this time were:070700Setup.exe (the first time, this file is named gotnewupdate000.exe), enemies - noms.txt, the andlocal.ini.

  Unlike the first time, I found a file (that I thought looked stranger / unusual) in the path: user_name\AppData\Roaming, who was namede7df18f3.exe (had a picture of what looked like a sheep or lama as its icon). Then I restored my system update this morning there, and when I did it seems to get rid of Antimalware Doctor. All of these mentioned files are gone EXCEPT enemies - noms.txt and the folder named '6C3E7952FB26425O6BF10F68BD53C4E1' in roaming pathfolder, which I deleted as well (not the Roaming pathfolder just the folder with long available to the numbers and letters). The antimalwaredoctor.exe file and the files program and start menu were all gone, too.

  Thought that the problem has been resolved...

  At this point, Microsoft Essentials popped up and said he did not have an update connections failed. When I tried again, a message box pops up reading "updated Virus & spyware definitions failed... unable to connect to the internet". Details or said technical support information "error code: 0x80072efe... could not install." "Please try again later". Windows Update gives the same error message. I then tried turning on Windows Defender, but after a short time, in which nothing loaded a message popped up saying, ' Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x800705b4.» This operation completed because the time-out period expired. »

  I wonder if somehow a driver/drivers have been closed toward the low or affected which have to do with Windows Update, MSE, and Windows Defender, etc. I was able to go on the site Web de Microsoft Security Essentials and do an update via the Security Portal. I tried to use all kinds of antivirus, antispyware progams as suggested by the forum but none seem to do nothing (a part to find regular cookies). I restarted my computer when it is required, and I am still getting these error messages. I thought it's important to mention all the details (that's why I mentioned all the files I've seen) so that it can help you understand the situation. If you wish, I could post the capture images that I have. Please notify.

  PART A: Applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

  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).

• Windows 7 Professional 64-bit: Windows Update error Code 8E5E03FA

  Okay, so I got Windows Update problems now for at least two months. I have worked with Microsoft technical support by e-mail and phone, but so far have had no luck, so I was hoping someone here might have an answer or an idea.

  My computer has started giving 8E5E03FA error Code whenever I try to install windows updates. It would also sit at a standstill for always "checking for updates... "when I start updating windows. She has also always updates installed during shutdown, even if they never seem to install correctly. To try to remedy this situation, I tried a clean boot, I tried to use the tool of analysis of Windows 7, I tried to download the updates manually (they wouldn't install with error C80003FA), I tried to use the fixit tool to reset update windows (in aggressive and non-aggressive mode), I tried to manually reset windows update I ran ' sfc/scannow' (which has found errors that it could not solve), I tried an upgrade on the spot, and finally, I tried a clean install.

  Once installed the clean, with nothing else installed, it wouldn't install updates, new fails with the error Code 8E5E03FA. It installs the office updates very well, he moved some other updates of the ms software very well, it installs the driver updated very well, but it seems not be able to install windows updates at all. At this point, there are 44 sitting in the pending updates, updates will be installed, which cannot be.

  My computer also takes a lot of time to load completely once connected. The Office will be, but my anti-virus and the wifi won't start or connect to between 3-5 minutes after the connection, and trying to open anything during this period will not work. It seems that something is happening in the background that I'm not aware of.

  Before the clean install, I ran the Windows 7 compatibility check and checked everything. So I'm at the end of my rope here, I don't really have any ideas on what to do. I put the windows update log and cbs logs if this will help.

  Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.

  [Access KB971058 via Internet Explorer (32-bit) only; Run the difficulty in DEFAULT and AGGRESSIVE modes, then restart]
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

  Try to download and install manually by download on your desktop and install them one by one. Insert the number of KB to get updates on the right and choose the one corresponding to your version of Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx.

  If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

  Also read and execute the steps ofhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.

  If this does not help, please transfer your question in Forum Windows Update:http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistawu/threads where updates experts will be happy to help you.  Please post with the information requested here:what to post in the Windows Update forum
