Malicious software removal tool update problems the last few months. Suspended for a very long time. Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP2

Hello

The last 3 months when the download and installation of my updates for Windows Vista, it gets stuck for hours on the malicious software removal tool. I have to cancel it. Restart the computer and reinstall. Then he moved very well and quickly according to historical updates. Last month, it was really difficult to cancell it well. He finally got through it. Here is a little history on my machine. I'm very very well with this computer. Each week, I do disk Cleanup, then defrag with diskeeper, virus scan with Microsoft Security Essentials. And every six months, I run a very large disk check and I said to correct errors and try to fix bad sectors. More than 3 years, I only had 2 minor bluescreens. I always make sure I have all my products Microsoft put updated. When I first got this computer I had a guy I.T. (a neighbor) out of the box and clean all the useless garbage out of it and it partitioned the hard drive. More than 3 years, he managed as a champion. Always very fast and all.

I hope that I'm not the only person having problems with this. Just start with the month of June, then July, then August.

P.S. I have 2 laptops running XP sp3, one is 9 years old and the other is 11 years old, he had 2000 top PRO, but I just put XP sp3 on it last month. They run too much like fields. I take good care of my computers with a little help from my friend IT. They have the same programs as this one and I do the same things to them, but they do not have this same problem with the release of the MSRT tool. Which leads me to think that it is specific to Vista only, I have a Windows 7 computer yet, so I can't speak for seven.

Any suggestions or ideas? We are scratching our heads on this one.

Thank you in advance for your time and help

Your misguided use of registry cleaners could have caused this behavior! If you ever think that your registry database must be cleaned, repaired, amplified, to the point, cured, twisted, fixed or optimized (it isn't), read http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099 and draw your own conclusions.

Your use of Revo Uninstaller and the foregoing notwithstanding, applications, (Norton and McAfee) are known to not uninstall (or upgraded) themselves.

1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

3. click right on the file saved in #1 above, and then select run as administrator to run the utility. DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

4. open IE (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run it in DEFAULT and modes difficulty then AGGRESSIVE. [1]

5. restart & test (i.e. the or shortly after seven 14-10 when the next MRT is scheduled to be released).

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.

    Is there a way to delete the records of 'detail' of only updates of failure or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

    I just installed hotfix for Windows (KB947821).

    It looks like a lot of my earlier 'failed' and 'Cancelled' updates are automatically updated and installed, and successfully, I might add.

    Some dates in some records do not seem much sense. I guess I'm looking for a way to select the records, I want to get rid of.

    Help?

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    It's not really a taken way in charge to remove only the cancelled or failed updates. These are taken from windows logs and displayed in the history. Steps that Jose post is a way to remove all files in history and will remove all updates as well as a failed/cancelled updates successfully.

  • Offered separately and after other Windows malicious software removal tool updates this month?

    As the header says, I was surprised to see THAT MRT for July 2013 offered after that I had installed all updates of updated patch Tuesday and I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't re-run WU.   Of course those who probably have to download and install automatically WU would not notice this.  I prefer to make my own.

    I noticed the same thing in Windows 7 and 8.

    Is it a new way of doing things?

  • Windows Vista home Premium 32 bit SP2: iTunes 10.1: there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run.

    I worked on it for about 3 days now. It's driving me crazy. I tried everything I could find to try to solve this problem.

    When installing iTunes it stops and a box will then appear to me said "there is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support provider or package. "No error message or anything, that's all I get. When I hit the only button I can hit the OK button, it continues to install QuickTime. Sometimes, it will install the iTunes file and the shortcut, but the shortcut does never work and the iTunes file is always empty. I have download the installer directly from Apple.com and save to the desktop, a new copy after each test (just in case).

    Here is a list of what I've tried:

    Yes, I am the administrator of the computer with admin abilities, yes I checked run this program as an administrator. I also made sure to stop all this as possible could interfere with the instillation, including my anti virus and what not even before I tried a clean boot.

    Is there anything else I can try?

    ~ Thank you

  • Printing for Vista Home Premium 32-bit network: Blank document or disappears from the queue

    I'm having trouble printing large format HP DeskJet 1000 c, which is connected via a parallel cable to my Media Center/DVR PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2 on my printer. I connected with the success of this printer to two different computers, a desktop PC running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP2 and a laptop Mac OS x 10.5.8. I can print from the local computer very well, but when I try and use the printer on the network, one of two things happens depending on what machine I try and print from:

    1. from Vista 64 Desktop: printing the task appears, treats and disappears from the queue to the local printing on PC DVR. Printer advance a sheet of paper as if he were about to print, then waits with a power indicator light flashes. If you send a new job network, the tip sheet of paper is ejected and the process begins again. If you send a new job locally, the tip sheet of paper is ejected and the local job will print normally.

    2. from Mac OS x: printing the task appears, treats and disappears from the queue to the local printing on PC DVR. Printer does nothing.

    Although the process of networking of printers with OS X 10.5 and Vista is a bit more complicated (annoying) it was with XP, I am able to print from the Mac to a printer on the Vista 64 machine very well. Similarly, PC DVR allows you to print to the printer of the Vista 64 computer and a printer connected to my Mac desktop.

    I checked the HP site for drivers and since it is a quite old printer, there is no listed for any operating system newer than Windows 2000 (which a pilot has been included with the operating system). Any ideas as to why the PC DVR will not take of the network print jobs? Unfortunately, this complex printer (3 printers, 4 machines) installation is somewhat needed due to the possibilities of each printer and how my home office is laid out. If they did a multifunction, printer laser color large network format, I could sell my soul for what it... But I'm not aware of such a machine available to mortals.

    There is a difficulty that recently came on the HP Forums for 64-bit Vista:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-all-in-one-software-and/DeskJet-710-720-810-820-100-series-printers-patch-for-64-bit/m-p/203377#U203377

    All you have to is to download the mentioned file and replace some dll with those provided.

    The question remains with OS X, but I do not expect that Microsoft will provide no support for this.
