  Hello... my computer will not install update KB2378111 with a code error 80070570.  In addition, I can not install all programs downloaded from the internet, specifically my anti-virus software.  I'm running without any software antivirus at this time.  I ran the most recent Microsoft malicious software removal tool and it showed that there is no problem.

  Cleaning a compromised system

  Personal 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 Vista: see the "to install Windows by performing a clean install" (or "reinstall Windows Vista") http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista 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:

  VERY IMPORTANT! -Online any Norton or McAfee free trial which is preinstalled on the computer when you bought will be reinstalled (but invalid) when Windows is reinstalled. You MUST uninstall the trial for free AND download/run the removal tool appropriate prior to installing the updates, Windows Service Packs or IE upgrades AND BEFORE installing your new anti-virus application.

• Restored Vista will not install updates

  I have an old laptop (from 2008 or 2009 I think) with Windows Vista. A few weeks ago, I restored the computer to see if it would be a bit faster still.

  But after restoring I have big problems with the installation of programs. I was able to install Firefox and antivirus (Avast) with no problems, but other programs - such as versions updates to Adobe Reader and Flash player and Libreoffice - will not be installed at all. I can download files facility but when clicking on it nothing happens. I checked the Task Manager, so they are not running in the background.

  I also face similar problems with Windows update. It is stuck on the installation of Vista SP1. It is said that the installation can take a large amount of time and it may restart the computer several times, but what installation it goes very fast (without rebooting) and said that the installation is complete. But when you search for new updates of SP1 is still there and not installed.

  Hello

  Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

• Windows xp will not install updates

  I did steps 1 - 10f... updates of windows will still not installed. Stopped after attempting the installation of the update.

  1. IN the stop step #9 => did you uninstall .NET Framework 4 Client Profile , or you go to step # 10 has?

  2A. When you started to see #10f, were KB2570947, KB2616676, KB931125 (update root certificates) & the Malicious Software Removal Tool , the selected updates to be installed?

  2B. what (s) [including any error number] you got during the installation of the system failed?

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

  Notwithstanding these questions...

  OPTION A: Visit the Microsoft Solution Center and antivirus security for resources and tools to keep your PC safe and healthy. If you have problems with the installation of the update itself, visit the Microsoft Update Support for resources and tools to keep your PC updated with the latest updates.

  OPTION B: There is a good chance that you see the effects of a hijackware infection!

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

  Microsoft is sponsoring free, online (third!) for questions: http://supportservices.microsoft.com/support/services/virus_malware_removal

  OPTION C: Your misguided use of Wise Registry Cleaner, cleaner CCleaner registry and/or Ashampoo may have "screwed the dog" here.

  Follow the instructions in this post of mine in another forum (to-the-letter & in order!) to restore your computer to a State safe & functional: http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=44636

  If you need additional assistance with the clean install, please start a new thread in this forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-system

  Note: The computer must not be connected to the internet or local networks (i.e. other computers) in its current state. All your personal data (e.g., banking online & passwords credit card) must be considered at risk, if not already compromised.

  Wish I had better news for you.  Good luck!

  1. uninstalled the .NET Framework 4 Client Profile
  2. one. Yes, these updates have been selected
  b. same error as before.  'A problem on your computer is preventing the updates being downloaded or installed' no error number.  Just say install again or try the troubleshooter.

  Option C seems the best option.  But if I get support should I only list the an a security update for windows xp kb2570947?
