  I'm so sick of Vista, error code constant update and cant update since April 2010, windows Defender won't update, installed a service pack manually, but I can't get the security updates, get error 80072EFE code, very frustrated at this point, all scanned and it's showing no malaware , or virus or anything, so he doesn't let me access my desktop unless I'm scanning the c drive for errors first (2 or more hours to scan) Oh so many questions, I could try windows 7. At my wits end with Vista premium 32 bit... Thanks if you can help... frustrated!

  Hello

  I've seen this error quite often.

  Error 80072EFE is related to the update server closing the connection.

  Mosty likely, the computer can be infected by ROOTKITS.

  Try TDSSKILLER to find rootkits.

  Download and run from here

  http://support.Kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/TDSSKiller.exe

  Then try to update Security Essentials

  Hello

  
  I suggest you rename the temporary folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution:

  1. click on start, run, type: cmd and press ENTER. Run the following command in the opened window.

  net stop WuAuServ

  2. click on start, run, type: %windir%, and then press ENTER.
  3. in the opened folder, rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to SDold.
  4. click on start, run, type: cmd and press ENTER. Run the following command in the opened window.

  net start WuAuServ

  Visit the Windows Update site to check this problem. If it works then it's a corrupted Windows Update file and we need to delete the folder in which it resides.

  Hope this helps, good luck :)

  Follow these steps:

  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) won't fix this!

  HOW to do a clean install of Vista: section "If you want to reinstall Windows Vista by running a new installation...". "of http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-Vista#section_3

  Once installed the clean, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" in order to take care of everything on the page following before otherwise connect the machine to a network or the internet and before using a flash drive or the SD card that is not brand new, or has not been freshly formatted:

  NB: 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 before installing updates, Windows Service Packs, or updates IE and before installing your new anti-virus application.

  If these procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, good reputation and stand-alone computer (that is, not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) repair facility.

  I click on this button and it scans for the hours (8 hours, and a day!) but never reveals an error code. I tried to disable all 5 hours see antivirus software if it is her, but can not solve... Any ideas?

  I know that its in April because it is the date when its says "last check for updates. It has installed updates since then. Also noticed Windows defender is unable to Champagne for the updates.

  Antivirus software is Norton.
