It is important to install or download new updates to windows?
In my opinion, Yes to download and install Windows updates. Most are security to stop means hackers and other updates fix issues with various parts of the operating system and other Microsoft products, that you have on your PC. Take the time to display updates from time to time like things like the service packs and new web browsers may require you to check the box to get them, service pack must be installed by themselves. When it comes to optional updates for the drivers, it may be better to get them from the manufacturer of the device, or if you have a brand PC from their website name.
You will hear tales that updates have crashed a system and I don't know there was some that were far from perfect, but usually it's because of problems on the PC in question, or some third-party software, I put some updates for automatic on my clients machines installation and it brings me no work - think Maybe I should stop this.

When I try to download the update of windows I get an error code every time: 802440F. Can you please help me solve this problem?
@ Evanston only!...
You see the effects of a hijackware infection! If you had used the computer longer, I might recommend trying to detect & remove infections. But it would probably take a week or two and I'm sure you have better to do with your time right now so I would recommend the following (which shouldn't take any more than two hours of uninterrupted time).
See...
Cleaning a compromised system
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc700813.aspxPersonal data backup (which none should be considered 100% reliable at this point) then format the HARD disk and do a clean install of Windows. Please note that a repair installation (upgrade AKA on-site) will NOT fix it!
HOW to do a clean install of Win7: see "using the custom installation and formatting the hard drive option" (or "reinstall it Windows 7") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7 article
NOTE: If your computer came with a set of disks, there is a hidden partition restore (not to be confused with the restoration of the system) you would use to do the clean install (AKA a "destructive recovery").
After the new installation, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of EVERYTHING on the next page before connecting the machine to the internet or one local network (i.e. other computers) AND BEFORE to plug in a flash, SD card, or any other external drive to the computer otherwise:
4 steps to help protect your new computer before going online
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/pypc.aspxVERY IMPORTANT! -Online free trial Norton will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool again Norton before installing updates AND BEFORE installing your new application antivirus (for example, Avast5 or Microsoft Security Essentials, free).
Tip: Do not install Spybot again; It's really overkill in Win7 my humble OPINION, especially if you are installing Microsoft Security Essentials.

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/antivirus/rogue.aspxIf you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/threads
If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.
Wish I had better news for you. Good luck & achieve before Thanksgiving 2010!

I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP
I have a dell machine running xp / sp3 who has started having failures to download or install updates may 9. Since then he has not installed updates even if it is set to do so all night at 04:00. It is also doing the same thing on the other computer desk in the small office LAN we have running off a verizon for DSL router. Chess began the same night, May 9. Here to install updates from the windows update page also failed. I ran the utility 'Difficulty now' from microsoft, and it has not fixed the problem.
Thanks in advance for your help to solve this problem.
Original title: I was not able to download the updates of Windows XP since May 9. Downloads keep failing.
If you have been playing around with the settings, you'd be wise to resinstall. All that are "machine accounts" which are automatically defined by the system to the evolution of random passwords. If you have accounts of changes of ntauthority to other accounts, you perhaps weakened the security level of the operating system.
No it's not a portal, that even Microsoft doesn't know what are these passwords.
