• Get the error code 641, cannot install Windows updates.

  Reluctant to do a reinstall of windows.  I had the same problem, find the same useless information on a cure.  I did a reinstall of windows (Vista) and partially by installing the updates of windows I ran into the same problem again, the windows installer does not.  Even from scratch will get not anywhere, leaving you at least your system as it stands leaves can be used instead of a partially updated with no program system.

  I wonder if Apple has this kind of problem?

  I have Vista Home Premium version 6.0 (build 6002 SP2)

  Avast antivirus free version running. No anti-malware running. No 3rd party firewall

  I got the bill113.exe virus/Trojan horse which has not been detected by the AVG Antivirus that I was running. I think I removed the bill113, and I delete AVG, downloaded Avast, ran so deleted spybot Search and Destroy. Since then-, I am getting error 80072 0n updated.

  You can sugest a fix/reset?

  Thank you very much

  If the computer is already infected, no anti-virus/anti-spyware application installed or working properly.

  You have a lot more work to do.

  NB: If you had no installed anti-virus application or subscription has expired * when the machine was first infected * and/or your subscription has expired since and/or the machine is not kept fully corrected in Windows Update, don't waste your time with any of the following: Format & reinstall Windows.  A repair install won't help!

  Otherwise...

  1. see if you can download/run the MSRT tool manually: http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx

  NB: Run the FULL scan, not analysis FAST!  You may need to download the MSRT on an uninfected machine and then transfer the MRT. EXE to the infected machine and rename it to SCAN. EXE before running it.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/968002

  Error code 0 x 80070424 you describe also means "ERROR_SERVICE_DOES_NOT_EXIST".  Windows Update depends on the following two services:

  (1) Windows Update
  (2) background Intelligent Transfer (BIT)

  If it turns out that these services are disabled or missing, you will encounter this error code.  Therefore, you will need to ensure that the necessary services are available and running.  Here's how:

  1. click on Start, type services.msc in the Search text box, and then click services.msc in the list programs. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

  2. double-click on Background Intelligent Transfer Service.

  3. If the starting state lists Stopped, click Start , and then click OK.

  4. double-click on Windows Update.

  5. If the starting state lists Stopped, click Start , and then click OK.

  6. double-click on my computer.

  7. If the starting state lists Stopped, click Start , and then click OK.

  8. close the Services window and try to install the updates again.

  If the Background Intelligent Transfer Service does not appear in the list of Services, click the following link to view the article on the Microsoft web site and download the update: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939159/en-us.
