Error number: 0x80072EFF (unable to connect?) Impossible to update the SP
Hello
OK where to start! should start by saying that I was (not so) recently hit with a fake 'antivirus' Trojan horse who seems to have caused the effects of training on my pc. no doubt I've caused problems myself while trying to remove it!
in any case, I am currently not able to be updated to SP 3. automatic updates (even if enabled) is not working and when I try an update manually via the ms site I get the above error. I understand that this error means could not connect to server - Yes?
If Yes, this is symptomatic of a problem persisting, I have with IE doesn't work usually does not as it should - connection problems show that other browsers can connect without a problem. the same problem also keeps me update of IE.
can you please help?

You see the effects of a hijackware infection, probably one of long date since you do NOT have a functional application of the antivirus installed (and you apparently disabled the automatic updates).

Good evening
Today, I tried to download my emails in Windows Mail. I got the following error message:Account: 'pop.ig.com.br', server: 'pop.ig.com.br', Protocol: POP3, server response: '-ERR AVG POP3 Proxy Server: cannot connect to the mail server!', Port: 110, secure (SSL): no, Server error: 0x800CCC90, error number: 0x800CCC90
Could someone help?
Thanks, Regina

The problem is that you allow your antivirus to mess with your email. Which is not recommended for the reasons explained here:
http://thundercloud.NET/infoave/tutorials/email-scanning/index.htmChances are, AVG antivirus was installed with the default installation option. If so, uninstall, then reinstall, but select 'custom' install, which then allows you to deselect install his embarrassing module scan to email.
While AVG is uninstalled, then try Windows Mail, just to check that the culprit has been found.

network cable unplugged wiundows xp
I'm unable to connect to wireless modem, the message's problem is the network cable is unplugged got new cable stillHello Verashanley
Since how long did begin?You have added a new software or hardware to the system?If the issue took place recently then you can try the system restore.If you have recently added anything to the system (hardware or software), then remove.If the system restore does not then check in Device Manager and verify that the network card is considered and no errors appear.To open Device Manager, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click performance and Maintenanceand then click System. In the hardware tab, click Device Manager.Check the type of network card you have and that you try to update the drivers from the hardware manufactures Web site.Also, check the connection for the network adapter. Do you see any physical damage. When you plug the NIC saw all the lights on the network card lights up? If not, then you can deal with a hardware problem and need to contact the manufacture of the system and see about obtaining the card replaced.Let me know the results. Thank you. -

My MacBook froze during the installation of the update at El Capitan and now I am unable to connect to any except the screen of the guest user. There was a message of panic, and somewhere in there, he said no set of OS. I tried to start without danger, it does not work either.
This general situation may be similar to what is mentioned in this sequel to thread of the CSA
and if the remedy is to use instructions; detailed and I hope they are correct...
Re: Restart fails after installation of El Capitan help!

See the Macintosh HD, as a boot volume, you could restart from OS X Recovery to

You could try and boot into OS X Recovery, utilities out there, and other options are available.
• OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support
This example uses a special partition on the hard drive of recovery which is not in the

We will also recommend you use Photoshop CS6 trial, because if in case you want to buy the trial then its available through the third party dealer as a standalone application.
