Security Essentials update error code: 8004FF01

I tried to install the Ess s. client to update and getting error code: 8004FF01

Hello

 
What is the description of the update that you are trying to install?

I suggest you try the steps mentioned below.
Method 1: Download and run the diagnostic to troubleshoot issues with Windows update.

The problem with Microsoft Windows Update is not working:

Method 2: Try to reset components to update Windows from the following link, which would help you to install the updates of windows.

Warning: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/)
How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
Check if you can install the update.

Method 3: If the problem still persists I suggest you to set up your computer in a clean boot state, and check to see if the same problem happens.

By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow step 7 in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.
 
If the problem is specific to the Microsoft Security Essentials update, you can post the question in the Microsoft Security Essentials community for assistance.


Hope this information is useful.
