  • ANY update for Silverlight will fail: it will download but not install

    I have Windows 7 Edition Vista Home Premium; and noted that for several years ANY update for Silverlight will fail: it will download but not install. I understand that a seller of windows is not installed, looks like mine done in ' 05.There is something on the part of Silverlight is not signed digitally.  My record of updates shows NOTHING for Silverlight. There is a single entry, "Microsoft Silverlight" in the updated register and register the program. I can't uninstall, even by Microsoft'sIlverlight Home Page on an installation or uninstall. Been through the web, don't want to spend $ on something I don't know. What I have has been disable Silverlight to add it in the menu under Internet Options.

    Anyone know how to get rid of something to do with Silverlight? With thanks... LarryWX.

  • I get this KB2481109 update and it still fails to update it's a virus

    I get this KB2481109 update and it still fails to update it is a virus and how iI to get rid of this?

    Hi Judy,.

    1. do you get an error code?

    2. who is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    Since this is a security update, there is a chance of infection from malicious software on the computer. We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.

    Method 1:

    You can reset Windows Update components and check.

    Note: 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 how to back up and restore the registry in Windows

    Reference:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Method 2: Virus Scan

    Run a scan antivirus on your computer.

    www.Microsoft.com/Security/Scanner

     
    Note: If infections are detected during the scan, there is a risk of data loss because infected files will be deleted.
