1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop: http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe
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 to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.
4. right click on the file that you saved in # 1 b above and select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then reboot again.

Windows Update error Code: 80072F78. Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
No matter what I try, I always get error code 80072F78. I am connected via gigabit LAN and I have no problem, surf the web. I have my temporary disabled anti-virus and Windows Firewall program off the coast (although I tried with it too). I have a legal, legitimate copy of Windows 7 Ultimate. I tried for three days to get all updates from Windows Update, but I am unable to get updates from 15 or so. With much trial and error I finally could get many updates available (close), but I can't seem to get the rest of them. I am satisfied that I have no connectivity issues. I can't understand why Windows Update guard fails now. Does anyone have an idea what could be my problem?
He did move to Win7 or is it a brand-new (ish) computer?
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)?
