  Previously, McAfee SecurityCenter has been installed on my pc, but it has been replaced by McAfee Total Protectiononce the subscription has expired. [It isunderlining] I remember getting a Norton trial software installed at a given moment, but this has been removed to make room for software McAfee, to ensure that there is no conflict between the programs.

  You should have installed McAfee Total Protection before as your McAfee Security Center subscription expires. If you're lucky, the following may solve your problem:

  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

  1B. download the tool McAfee Consumer Product Removal, save it to your desktop:http://download.mcafee.com/products/licensed/cust_support_patches/MCPR.exe

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

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

  4. now run this triple McAfee fix: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507

  [Note that you you already downloaded the removal tool in my # 1 step b above.] You will restart three times: after uninstalling McAfee Total Protection; After you run the removal tool; and then the reinstallation of McAfee Total Protection.]

  5. after reinstalling McAfee Total Protection, manually & repeatedly update the app until you get a prompt "no update more".

  6. for good measure an another Windows update reset (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058), restart once again & test.

• Vista update problem - stop to update 3/3 0%

  original title: Vista update problem

  When my computer tries to finally start up, it comes to a screen that says Windows Update section 3 of 3, 0% complete.  He is sitting here for a minute or two, then restarts.  This loop continues indefinitely.  Will not start in safe mode.  Used a boot disk to get into the Windows repair and got the result, did not find any problem.  How to cross this attempt to update?  I have Vista.

  When you used the "Startup disk" was available as an option system restore? If so, then choose a restore point created before this issue started occurring.

  If the system restore is not available, then you have 2 options:

  (1) try a "in-place upgrade", aka, repair installation. This can be done by running the system with the "Startup disk" and choose command prompt - How to perform a repair for Vista Installation

  However, if Service Packs have been installed then you should uninstall everything first.

  You will need to know where the Service Pack .exe file is to be able to uninstall the command prompt, because the system does not start properly, or Mode without failure.

  See - method 3: uninstall Windows Vista service pack from the guest here - How do I uninstall Windows Vista service packs as a troubleshooting step

  (2) do a clean install of Vista.

• A security update cumulative for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2809289). Error details: Code 8E5E03FA.

  Tried to install the update Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista (KB2809289) and it failed several times.  Error details: Code 8E5E03FA. Tried to disable the firewall and antivirus, nothing helped, also tried to download the update and install it in safe mode, did not help as well. Tried to run Microsoft Fix It, luck is. Can anyone offer any help with this?

  I had problems too with IE9 and it's updates... as you say all the other updates work I don't think that the Windows Update the question... is IE itself... IMHO...

  For days, I was getting the BSOD and it became progressively worse as the days passed... Now, I have all stable and works very well yet.

  If my suggestion for you is what I did... sort the problem at the source the progam in other - IE there is a form of corruption imho.

  First download and save IE9 to your download folder make sure you have the correct version, for example English Vista 64-bit

  Uninstall the current version... you may have to restart... I suggest you only do it anyway... It is cleaner that way. Then reinstall IE. I suggest that you set up with as few add on the as possible and add them at a later date, as and when you need it, preferably one at a time.

  Once you have reinstalled IE and restarted the kickoff of Windows Update If you have not automatically set to run... and I think that it will update the update of security OK.

  Good luck - let me know

  Windows Update says that I need these two updates of security, but it cannot install them. I can install all other updates but these two. It just says 'update failed' and gives me the error 800b0100 code. Anyone know if it is a general problem or if it's just my computer?

  You may find that you can download save manually, and then install the updatesKB978601 KB979309 first, then then and who can fix the error. You can download the two updates from the Microsoft Download Center. Don't forget to download the update for specific version of Windows and the architecture that the system is running. EX: If it is Vista 32 bit, then take the 32-bit version of Vista. If it's Windows 7, 64-bit, then download and save the 64-bit version.
