Windows Update not install (KB978338)

@Phil only: KB979683 is not a WinXP-specific update. see the software section assigned to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms10-021.mspx

New W32/Alureon-variants appear hourly. April 2010 MSRT detects only a subset of the variants identified by April 17, 2010.

Above, my main concern is that you have no real-time antivirus program until you have installed the following CA. In other words, the computer may have been infected (but not necessarily with W32/Alureon) before installing the certification authority and the blank apps. (This may explain why you found more CA to be a 'resource Eater"- he never installed correctly & so did not work properly due to the pre-existing infection.)

If I had to fix this computer, I would like to format and do a clean install, no doubt about it.

Good luck!

Hello

You have a problem with Alureon tries to use TDSSkiller it will consume only 5 minutes of your time

Please send us a journal so we can check. Sometimes, alureon infect atapi.sys or other drivers.

  • some windows updates not always settle. why it is so?

    some windows updates not always settle. Here are the updates that are not always.

    Update of security for Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 (KB2284695)
    Update for the filter of junk e-mail in Outlook 2003 (KB2466074)
    Update of security for Microsoft Office 2003 (KB2289163)
    Update for Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (KB2449798)

    I don't know why not install microsoft office updates. Maybe because we use cracked versions of office. I think that these updates will not fail if we use a saved version of office 2003. is it so?.

    First thing I would do is to remove the cracked versions and then make a broad analysis AV with malwarebytes and other utilities of the VA, not to say what other little hidden surprise, that you got for free.

  • Stop windows update to install Nvidia driver version 52.16

    Hello

    Recently, I upgraded the PC of my father to WinXP SP3. It is an old DELL Dimension of 11 years. After installation there is a nagging question that won't stop.

    Windows Update keeps trying to install the following:

    MICROSOFT VIDEO NVIDIA GEFORCE 4 MX 420

    NVIDIA driver version 52.16

    This update is not necessary for the monitor to run.

    So far, my difficulty was to start in safe mode and back the driver.

    Windows Update repeatedly installed this driver. I have

    detailed instructions on how to block this specific update to settle here.

    Thank you

    Dwayne Boyd

    To hide an update in Windows XP, just go to the Windows Update site and uncheck the update and click on the + sign next to it. At the bottom of the explanation expanded the update the checkbox to hide this update become active and can be selected, thus masking the update.

    Then, you need to remove the update from the temporary folder:

    Stop the automatic updates service

    Click Start, choose run.
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click on stop.
    Stopping the service will take a moment.

    Delete the content of the download folder
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type %windir%\SoftwareDistribution
    Click OK.
    Open the download folder.
    Delete all the contents of the download folder.
    Close the window.

    Start the automatic updates service
    Click Start. Choose run.
    In the run box, type services.msc.
    Click OK.
    Right-click the automatic updates service.
    Click Start.
    Starting the service will take a moment.

    By removing the contents of the download folder - you have removed all downloaded
    updates.

    Now, the next step would be to configure Windows Update in order to warn only rather than automatically download and install updates. In this way, you stay in control.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306525

    Click Start, click run, type sysdm.cpl, and then press ENTER.

    Click the automatic updates tab, and then click to select an Notify me but don't automatically download or install

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         What is the full error message?

    Follow the steps.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable the antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network at the time the anti-virus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
