Error code: code 80072EE2

When my computer trys to update, it used. When I study, it gives me the error code: code 80072EE2

EtrnL_Frost,
The symptoms you describe it sounds as if you might meet a malware\virus infection.  I would like to start by doing a few scans of your system with your current antivirus and another company of analysis online.  Have you used the Norton removal tool to uninstall Norton, or did you do it through remove programs?  If you have not used the Norton removal tool you should do it now.

Here are a few links on security software that can be useful.

  • Error: code 80072ee2

    My Internet Explorer on Windows 7 began operation very strangely for several days; for example: I should rarely to my page desired by clicking on links in Google, rather it would be opening a new browser (instead of his usual tab) and take me to random webistes.  Close the page and clicking on would work again normally, but not always. Then I noticed that my Windows Action Center had a multitude of flags, one indicating that I didn't have virus protection, which indeed I (McAfee Antivirus Plus 2010).

    So, I decided to uninstall McAfee and reinstall it, only it did not work. Windows don't seem to be allowing to install... so I contacted McAfee McAfee support. Support of McAfee then remotely connected to my computer and tried to install the software... 2.5hrs later... they could not and said it was a Windows problem (Microsoft Update) and for me to contact Microsoft.

    So... here I am. I tried 5 or 6 different solutions on this forum and those offered through windows update, but still nothing. I am getting very frustrated. My computer is only 6 months old and I have no problems so far. It seems like he just decided to hate me. I can't safely use internet or do the job because I'm afraid he's going to get infected.

    Can someone please offer some advice?

    Thank you.

    Hi Rtgf123,

    If Windows Update, error 80072ee2 during updates, the Windows Update servers may experience an unusually high number of requests for updates. Close Windows Update, wait 10 to 15 minutes, and then run Windows Update again. Alternatively, you can wait for automatic update of Windows run at its next scheduled time.

  • Microsoft office 2007 service pack 3, won't download, get the code 80072EE2 error code

    1. When you run a manual check of updates by http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/How-can-I-tell-if-my-computer-is-up-to-date, which (if any) other updates are offered in addition to the Office 2007 SP3?  [Before moving to #2 below, note the number of KB updates & post / them in your next reply as your response to #1].

    2. assuming that other updates are offered, pouvez you (a) clear Office 2007 SP3 and all but one of the others [which ' t hide all] and then (b) install the update remains one by itself?

    Council-online if the updates is a .NET Framework update, try to install this one.

    If you pouveztell me the number of the update that you have installed in your next reply as your response to #2.

    3. open / click start | Control Panel | Windows Update | Update of the story (in the left menu). In your next reply, tell me the KB numbers & the corresponding date of installation (for example, KB987654 - February 27, 2012) the last four 4 updates successfully installed as your response to #3.

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

    Comment: As I pointed out in my first post above, your mobile Wi - Fi connection may not always reliable enough for Windows Update in order to install Office 2007 SP3. If this is the case, you may need to carry your computer in your son & DIL House to install it, possibly manually (which would require to download the "fullfile" 351,9 MB Installer).

    Besides, I have a few things more up my sleeve that I could talk after seeing your replies to my three questions above. Hang on!

    I really appreciate your response, however, I was able to solve it with the system restore and reinstallation of several windows updates.

    It turned out that a third-party software was the culprit.  Once I made this discovery, I reinstalled the software uninstalled, and carried out the system restore and updates.
